The military autopsy of Navy SEAL candidate Kyle Mullen, a Manalapan resident who died hours after completing the grueling portion of SEAL training known as “Hell Week” in early February, revealed the cause of death as pneumonia and indicated that the 24-year-old went untreated until it was too late. Regina Mullen, Kyle’s mother, received the report last week and shared its contents with the Asbury Park Press. [snip] The report names the official cause of death as “acute pneumonia due to Streptococcus pyogenes.” Streptococcus pyogenes is a Group A strep bacteria, which the report says “is capable of causing multiorgan failure and cardiovascular collapse via toxic shock.”

Comments:

Strep. The beach off which SEAL candidates spend a lot of time in the water is the second beach up from the Tijuana River mouth, Imperial Beach being the first. High bacteria counts due to sewage discharge from the river are resulting in more-frequent closures at Imperial. Am I reading too much into this?

Highly motivated individual who would not DOR or take a medical even though most of his original BUDs class did just that. They BEG you to quit every step of the Game...He refused, toughed it out. His body was just weaker than his Will. He would have made a great SEAL.

OP, I had the same thought. The sewage/river conditions near San Diego have been an issue in the past. In any case, Mullen had to have been one tough cookie to make it through SEAL training especially when he was so sick. But from what I understand, SEAL’s need to be the sorts that never give up. He must have been a very brave and special young man.

I know this area very well, having lived in Imperial Beach in the mid sixties. No one with a brain went in the water.

This is a tragedy. Any man who can survive SEAL training and Hell Week at all is an exceptionally strong and motivated individual. One who can survive it with pneumonia, and not give up was a super exceptional person, and a real loss to his family, the country and the USN. It's a shame that no one figured this out in time to save him. I'm sure that he was bound and determined to "die trying" and never give up....but probably didn't mean it so literally. Sad story, for sure.

A former US defence secretary has said he was "amazed" by the promise of the blood testing technology developed by the now disgraced Theranos founder, Elizabeth Holmes. James Mattis, who sat on the company's board, also thought it was a mistake when she was first accused of fraud.

The White House responded Tuesday to the plea of an Afghan interpreter who helped rescue then-Sen. Joe Biden and two other senators in a 2008 snowstorm, reiterating the president’s pledge to use diplomacy to work to evacuate remaining allies still in Afghanistan who wish to leave. “We will get you out, we will honor your service, and we're committed to doing exactly that,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said. The Wall Street Journal reported the interpreter – only identified as Mohammed by the newspaper – his wife and four children are in hiding from the Taliban after a “years-long attempt” to leave Afghanistan got mired in bureaucracy.

In case you were too busy caring about things that actually matter to notice, the January 6th committee is back in session. That came after its members announced an “emergency” hearing for Tuesday, including the inclusion of a “surprise” witness. Now, you’d think going through such pomp and circumstance meant they came across some damning new evidence proving their assertion that Donald Trump organized an insurrection. But if you thought that, you thought wrong. Rather, Tuesday’s hearing was another ridiculous parade of absurdity, full of hearsay and no hard evidence of essentially anything. Yet, one claim by a woman named Cassidy Hutchinson, a former Mark Meadows aide, truly took the cake.

t just got easier to get into the Army. Now aspiring soldiers without graduations under their belts can still hang government-issued Sig Sauer M17s from them. Military.com reports that the U.S. Army is dropping its requirement for enlistees to possess either a high school diploma or GED certificate. This comes, per the outlet, amid an “escalating recruiting crisis.” On Thursday, the service announced that individuals may enlist without those previously required education certifications if they ship to basic training this fiscal year, which ends Oct. 1. To be clear, entrants still have to take a test: Recruits must also be at least 18 years old and otherwise qualify for a job in the active-duty Army.

Wade, the landmark ruling granting abortion rights.
