Op-Ed: Our son, a Marine, died in training at Camp Pendleton. He could have been saved (via latimesopinion)
Five young Marines from Camp Pendleton died in preventable “rollover” accidents in the last year. How many more of our military will die, needlessly?
He had recently turned 24 and was engaged to the love of his life, Kathleen Bourque. He knew that training could be very dangerous, and he also knew that his unit had had several near-fatal rollovers in the previous months. As he wrote in a private journal about a rollover that involved a LAV with seven Marines on board: “It’s a miracle no one was killed. … This is a reminder that at any moment, through careless action, even in training, Marines can die.
Why is a Marine or soldier dying every single month in military vehicle rollovers? Can anything be done to reduce this appalling death toll?
