Reply #144: No, they don't like dissent

However Bush wasn't on the ground so it's not like he pulled the trigger (Now if Cheney was there that'd be a different story). I can't see it as being realistic that the administration would be capable or even willing to take the risk of having one, individual soldier whacked cuz he didn't like the war.

Naw, if he was purposefully killed it had to be something personal between him and his fellow unit members. Thinking back on it, going into Afghanistan after 9/11 was a highly popular move to avenge America's honor. I guess if he did voice objection that would have made him unpopular. But even that doesn't explain them conspiring to kill him.

Now if perhaps he saw some of his unit members do something illegal like killing of civilians, something we all know angry soldiers hopped up on adrenaline and caught up in the fervor of serving their country could be prone to do (for example see Vietnam) THAT would be a good reason to kill him. If he'd been vocal about disliking the war and voiced any objection to illegal acts of his fellow soilders that's one hell of a reason to shut his mouth permanently.

That's the only scenario I can think of that makes such an extreme act make real sense. And since we know these guys have no problem destroying what they knew damn well was evidence we know we're dealing with criminal minds.
