Susan and Michael McDowell attended a memorial in June for their son, 1st Lt. Conor McDowell. Kathleen Isabel Bourque, the love of Conor’s life, joined them. None of them had anticipated what they would be going through.
Conor, the McDowells’ only child, was killed during a vehicle rollover accident in the Las Pulgas area of Camp Pendleton during routine Marine training on May 9. He was 24.

Jesus there isn’t a “rise in training accidents.” There have always been training accidents because military training is fucking dangerous. That’s just how it is. You try to mitigate the danger but at some point you just stop training. There is no good solution and getting congress involved will simply make things worse.
