What kind of example is sent to young and old alike when our Navy's top admiral is found dead from a self-inflicted wound - all because of questions about a couple of military decorations?
It shows it's OK to lie about your age if you really want to do something, bad enough, and it's OK to kill yourself to avoid embarrassment.
My condolences to Admiral Boorda's family.
