A little more on the mysterious case of Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Cherie Morton
Location: Rockford, IL

The LA Times did a story on sailor Cherie Morton over the weekend.

It says she lived in Bakersfield for a bit, where she enlisted in the Navy.  Which explains why the Department of Defense said that's where she's from, although, as the story explains, she was born in Illinois and that's where her parents are now.

Just another piece of the puzzle that is this case. No word yet on how she died.

I'm getting suspicious about all these military deaths under investigation. I still don't believe that the soldier from Bakersfield committed suicide last year.

Veteran suicides are *WAY* up.  We're going to lose as many Iraq troops from suicide as hostile fire.

randomfactor,

The guy from Bakersfield, who allegedly committed suicide, hadn't even been to Iraq. I think he was found dead at training camp and his valuables were missing.  I guess the military said he was disturbed because he told a lie that he was married when he really wasn't. He probably just wanted to fit in. Marriage is really popular in the mililtary. The troops want someone to come home to.

What's the suicide rate for vets? Is it 17 a month? I  can't remember.
