It wasn’t a hazing incident.
They killed him because he figured out how they were stealing money from OPFUND and informant programs.
Logan was a friend. Trained operators don’t “accidentally” asphyxiate someone from a choke hold.
Please help me honor US Army Green Beret Staff Sergeant Logan Melgar.
On June 4, 2017, the 34-year-old engineer sergeant was killed in Mali during a hazing incident by fellow special operators who broke into his room, restrained him, and applied a chokehold that led to his death by asphyxiation.
From Lubbock, Texas, he served with the 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) after enlisting in 2012, completed Special Forces training, and deploying twice to Afghanistan.
Survived by his wife Michelle and their two sons, Melgar was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery, leaving a legacy of service and a case that exposed serious issues of accountability within elite military units.
Never forgotten.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Death ruled homicide by asphyxiation. Two SEALs and two Raiders charged with felony murder for chokehold in planned hazing to film sexual assault. Convicted of manslaughter/hazing; sentences 6mo-18mo after reductions. Theft cover-up motive alleged, denied.

They accidentally killed him because they were trying to choke him unconscious, rape him on camera and blackmail him with the footage, by the way

grok’s bout of elon worship deserved far more scrutiny than it got. sure, everyone laughed at how pathetic it was, but to me it was deeply revealing of elon’s insecurities and how little he can be trusted to shape the values of a superintelligence.

i have to say it is very interesting watching tech guys discover the same stuff i learned about 13 years ago reading pre-Complex pre-throwing-fits moniker four-pins blog posts
best hoodie i've found: warehouse & co's lot 484 made in japan
10 years ago i went down a rabbit hole looking for the best place to manufacture sweatshirts for our d2c brand
it led us to a japanese manufacturer & brand warehouse co known for their denim. they ended up making ours
the 484 is a take on heavyweight 1960s champion reverse weave hoodies (champion developed reverse weave to stop sweatshirts shrinking in length. they turned the fabric sideways cutting it across the grain rather than vertically and added weird looking ribbed side panels for movement and to manage horizontal shrinkage)
it's thick and barely shrinks and the fabric is knitted in japan on ancient loopwheel machines with great details
it has the similar appeal as wearing a watch only watch-austists recognize: normos don't knows what it is, but you the midwit reddit styleforum guy know it's special while looking like you got it from gap
$250. i've got two

This is what China did in 2009 when there was a similar scandal.
The Trump DOJ has dropped an investigation into a company whose contaminated baby formula may have led babies to die.
The Justice Department spent years investigating Abbott Laboratories over how it managed a baby formula facility where potentially deadly bacteria was discovered and suspected of causing infant deaths.
Some prosecutors believed they had evidence to criminally charge the company, but top decision makers instead closed the probe.

We tried bribery. We got a box of 16 fancy truffles from aldi, and every time he went #2 on the potty, he got one. He was unimpressed.
Then we tried confiscation. Every time I had to change a stinky diaper, I ate one of his truffles. He was trained in a week.
