ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The U.S. Army on Thursday identified the soldier who died this week of injuries sustained during a bear attack in a military training area in Alaska.
The Army in a statement said Staff Sgt. Seth Michael Plant, 30, was pronounced dead at a hospital on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage following the mauling Tuesday.
Hair collected during an initial investigation into the attack was consistent with a brown bear, the department said.
The bear attacked in a remote section of the military base, the department said. Cyndi Wardlow, a regional supervisor with the department, said information gathered so far suggests this was a “defensive attack by a female bear protecting her cubs.”
The location of the bear that was involved in the Tuesday attack was unknown, the department said.

A man under the oyster gun like you are should maybe be careful with such quips that may tempt karma.

A gay bear or a real bear?

I don't think I could bear it.

The bear necessities of life will come to you

Where was his gun? His knife? Did they send the guy out with only the bear necessities?

His fellow soldiers likely found seeing that as unbearable

Find the bear, kill the bear. Simple as that. It’s not a dog that tried to bite someone, it’s a bear that killed someone.

If it was a polar bear the media wouldn’t touch this story!

Sad. There are a lot of bears in AK, so troubles always bruin.

I don't think I could take an adult grizzly bear hand to hand..
Even with a decade and a half on The OT.

I'm not sorry that every bear attack story makes me think of Grizzly Man and I chuckle a little bit to myself every single time.

That’s awful. There was a brown bear attack on base when I was stationed there (2013-2016).
RIP.
RIP.

RIP soldier and prayers sent for his loved ones.
With that being said.

Judging by his pic I wasn’t thinking of an animal when it said killed by a “bear”
