OR was this the dependent of a US service member who is probably also the surviving spouse of a now deceased US service member?

Several days ago, variations on a theme of "US service member" started to appear. All going back to a single case.

Why the difference in description? Sloppy journalism. We tried to find specifics. Age of the case is retired. No base assignment is given.

We'll probably never know, but I'd guess the sick person is the surviving Korean widow who went home to Korea after her husband's death to live well on his pension. If I were pushing it, I'd even guess that if she wasn't in the religious cult cluster, one of her family members was.

Pure speculation on my part. Feel free to ignore.

You're off base, it's been confirmed not only to include his base, but the 2 other bases he had recently visited in S.k. (within the past week)
