    Unfortunately unsubstantiated claim he was KIA. His wife made an offhanded comment in a video 6 days ago about an unexpected sack of potatoes that arrived, but she claims he is alive and that she spoke with him 18 hours ago.

      Given how fast the turn around is for some units, I am leaning to believe it. Paired with the lack of body recovery we are likely to just never know for sure. Just one more statistic. Just wish someone got a last interview with the guy asking what he thought about the emma and two moms recruitment ad. Lot of people were hating it at the time and saying this video for the VDV was better. Still has some old comments on it saying so. Still I guess props to the guy for actually joining?!

        Just to clarify, she got the potatoes/posted video ~5 days before she claimed they spoke to him. Could be a lie of course, but I’m inclined to think the bag of potatoes was quite small and maybe a gift from a neighbor or something. It’s not the 50kg sack we’ve seen before.
