    why would the investigation team say it was a hit:confusion: that would cause panic:hiding: among all the us military leaders in the region.
    so we will never know the truth of this anyway

    It happens a lot but not to people in this high of a position and in this part of the world. It may well be suicide but something seems off to me. If it was a terrorist murder I'm sure the military would bend over backwards not to admit this breech of security.

    So you don't want to warn your commanders/soldiers that someone is after them?

    Suicide is often done impulsively. Notes happen but not as often as is thought.

    That is the logical supposition, but suicide is illogical by definition. Mariette Hartley, whose father committed suicide, was overcome by the suddenness of it. They knew he was depressed but he gave no real reason and definitely no warning, just went and killed himself.

    Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was talking about Mariette Hartley's father there. AFAICT this guy gave no indication he was depressed or had anything else that causes suicide, like Bipolar.

    He could have just had a fatal disease and not wanted to go through a painful dying process, (which is still just regarded as a type of Depressive suicide to my knowledge since hospice care can obviate that to a great extent). However, one would think a note would be evident there.

    Or maybe there is more than meets the eye here. I dunno, but think it would be best to just leave the family with their grief until more is known.

    “Coward: someone who in a bad situation thinks with his feet”

    If it was suicide, he will go down as a lonely coward, too weak to confront the world's challenges, taking the easy way out, resulting in eternal damnation.
