The famous Jose Load box owned by Mark Cameron...

Check out some of those last videos he posted to his YouTube channel, where his hands are shaking so bad he is having trouble playing.

I didn't notice that, I thought the last vids he posted were of the Metroplex.

Yes... sad indeed...

Stuntdouble (Ben Wise) too.

That was a bizarre combat story, if you've never read it.

I never heard details, hopefully it wasn't a Pat Tillman situation, friendly fire my ass....

No.

I'll find the article for you, rather than paraphrasing it here..

edit: bah.. can't find the story in detail like I read it years ago. I'm pretty sure it was an excerpt from the book his surviving brother wrote.

Ben's brother, Jeremy, was a former Navy Seal and was working as a CIA security contractor when he and 6 other CIA employees were killed by a suicide bomber in 2009. The scene is depicted in the movie "Zero Dark Thirty", when the CIA 7 are awaiting a supposed "high value informant" to arrive at forward base for a meetup.

The guy gets out of the vehicle and detonates a bomb vest.

I read the funeral announcement that was posted on Metro, but I don't remember too much about it. It did not go into detail about what had transpired. So was Ben working as a contractor at that time or was he regular army? He was either special forces or green beret from what I remember, something like that.

I remember him posting while he was deployed from his FOB, I imagine the whole EVH things was a good escape for him.
