No worries. We are all entitled to our own opinion. We just don't happen to agree. I can live with that if you can.

Wow, kind of depressing to see how quickly this thread went from speculation on a probable misinformed military death to a few people's ardent hatred of anyone who doesn't agree with them. I'm a very liberal person, but because I am, I respect and support your right to believe whatever you want. I wouldn't ever presume to try to force you to agree with me, and certainly wouldn't ever do violence to you because you disagree with me. And if I ever thought this country was at any real risk, I too would be stepping up to assist. It's a shame that just because of my socio-political leanings, you automatically demonize me.
As for the real reason for this thread: I wouldn't be surprised if the guy accidentally o.d.'d on some kind of drug (hence the unpacking and repacking of his pack), then his death was blamed on the ever hapless and abundant venomous snake. Almost anything rational (suicide, accidental overdose, murder) is more plausible than this healthy young man succumbing so quickly to a cottonmouth bite before he could ever call for help.

Ladies and gentlemen,
This thread did get way off topic.
I am closing this topic due to the trend towards political debate.
There are plenty of sites to carry on political debate both pro and con for either side.
This is not one of them.

Feel free to continue this discussion amongst yourselves via email. Further commentary here will be deleted.

LOL, I have removed my previous thread, as I think that while fun, it is liable to start a political debate, which could be interesting, however, would probably work better somewhere else than a venomous snake forum.
So, lets get back to snakes and such.
Best Regards John Z
