A deployment is 90 days or more (for simplicity lets say 3 months). 44 x 3 - 132 months deployed. 132/12 = 11 years. The avg deployment is 7.7 months long (9.4 for Army; 7.97 Marines). 7.7 x 44 = 338.8 months or 28.23 years deployed. OEF was declared 18.5 years ago. <br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050981737884149151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10833510.post-36244324997581722672019-10-14T11:46:08.956-07:002019-10-14T11:46:08.956-07:00Keith was my husbands (36 years SF) best friend an...Keith was my husbands (36 years SF) best friend and his 44 deployments were with the CIA after retirement.

We live near a large military base with several smaller supporting bases. We are accustomed to “top secret” missions. If you had met him, you would not question the above history. We spent many nights on the phone and having drinks discussing his life choices, he patriotism and why he never actually “retired”. We talked at length about why he was still “involved” with government missions. He was everything they have said he was and most likely more we will never hear about. He was a trained soldier and knew no other way in life, except to serve his country in the only way he knew how. The reason you won’t find his recorded “KIA” is, he officially did not exist, for obvious reason. Everyone here in Florida misses him very much as you can see. Almost 4 years later, I still read his texts messages, look at his photos, and miss him very much. He was one of a kind and can never be replaced.

It appear the Army branch was either Medical or Medical Service Corps by note of his collar insignia. <br />Would anyone know if he was a physician, nurse, or Physician Assistant?<br />I find it curios there is no mention of that.

I reached out on other veteran sites, and Keith's SF brothers have come forward to vouch his service and KIA status. I'm sorry that his status is not reported by other systems, and that we have to rely on word of mouth/brotherhood vouchers. Keith deserves better. <br /><br />We definitely lost an American brother like no other when we lost Keith.

First of all, to Sarc88, look in the comments above. New Mexico did honor him through the state legislature. Secondly, the war in Afghanistan started in October 2001. SF troops, especially if he had ever deployed with Delta Force, would have only had him in country for a few days to maybe a couple of months at most. And anyone counting on icasualties to know exactly who was killed should hold their head in shame as icasualties does NOT count every single persons death.<br /><br />You call yourself a combat vet Sarc88 but you sound like an ass saying what you chose to say.

I'm super grateful that they did. We all agree that the point of contention regarding his deployments is most likely a fudge factor of "every trip ever", and that number is not coming from Keith himself. RIP to a great warrior.

Something's smells fishy. This does not hold water. If he's a private contractor, then he was NOT active in the Special Forces at the time of this. It has to be one or the other. I can see some possible explanations for the rank and the deployments, but I can't believe he was Army Special Forces AND a private contractor at the same time- that does not make sense.

And it's not this Butler. iCasualties lists CIA, CIA Contractors, Civilians, every single US KIA regardless of affiliation.<br /><br />2) Anyone and everyone who has ever served contests the 44 deployments claim. Understood that memorial notes and eulogies are generally written by surviving family members who don't really know what that number might really be.<br /><br />3) Not a single casualty reporting system reports Keith as a KIA.<br /><br />I know it's not a tasteful topic; I know, because I served 22yrs and am a combat veteran. Let's get facts, not feelings, involved. Don't care if you dated him - hope you had fun. Don't care if you're related, I'm sure you miss him.

You have no idea what you are talking about as many of his deployments were much shorter than a standard infantry deployment. While shorter, they were much more dangerous. Regardless, that man was over there in theater for damn near the entire war. The only thing that isn't completely correct is who he was working for, but rest assured he was still a member of the DOD. He was without a doubt the finest warrior I have ever met. So before you start to question his service or his record get your facts straight.<br /><br />Jared OwensbyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144051758327828175noreply@blogger.com
