Eric Harroun dead…again
Nearly a year ago, we first wrote about Eric Harroun, a former American soldier who had taken up arms against the Syrian government with some al Qaeda dudes. He was reported dead from action in Syria once, but that turned out to be false because he returned home to charges to which he pleaded guilty that he had supported terrorists. Now his family is reporting that he’s dead again, here in the US.
The family of Eric Harroun announced on its Facebook page that the 31-year-old died, though the cause of death is still unknown. Relatives confirmed the death on Wednesday. Foul play is not suspected and toxicology reports are not expected for 60 to 90 days.
Harroun spent three years in the Army before 2000 and never had the opportunity to deploy.

“Harroun spent three years in the Army before 2000 and never had the opportunity to deploy.”
You sure about that? If he was 31 now, he’d have been 17-18 in 2000. Surely he didn’t serve three years prior to that.
If you go back to the original article it says he served from 2000-2003 meaning he was 17, That is possible in the Army Reserves, not sure about the Guard.
You goto boot your senior year, then after graduation, you goto AIT.
That would mean he got deployed and was injured in late 2002-2003.
Just trying to help here.
Oh huh and before you think I am defending this p.o.s., I’m not, there is a special level of hell for traitors to sit and stew in for the rest of eternity. This sh*tbag had a spiky rack waiting for him when he got there. Just saying.
My mistake, the article says he joined in 2000 and did 3 years but didn’t deploy.
Yeah. There’s something hinky with the math there.
Way back when I joined the Guard (1980), I did Basic during the summer between my Junior and Senior years and AIT the next summer. Nothing like spending two gloriously hot summers in Ft. Leonard Wood and Ft. Rucker.
As far as our “Man of the Minute” Eric Harroun is concerned – so what.
Thank you nbcguy54!!! I was waiting for someone to get this thread back on track!! SO WHAT INDEED!!!!
The guy was messed up, that’s for sure. He converted to Islam, traveled to Syria, didn’t seem to know the sides or factions, joined one, returned to the US, surrendered to the Feds, spilled his guts, cut a deal, and walked on time served. The records of the deal were sealed so he gave up some intel, no doubt. Now, he’s said to be dead. And that’s about it.
Yep. No loss of sleep here on this traitor no longer wasting oxygen.
If Harroun could convert a charge of aiding or supporting terrorism into a sealed court record and time served, he did, indeed, cut a sweetheart deal. Somebody must have thought that what he provided was worth something above average.
The Al Qaeda didn’t kill him eh…bummer.
I hope they had a ball with his ass on every “Man-love Thursday” he was over there! And I hope he/it really is dead this time, one less waste of flesh, oxygen, and tax dollars!
He’s not really dead – he’s probably in the Witness Protection Program with the new name of Erica Hairycrotch (sex change operation paid in full by the US Govt, btw).
Hopefully he’s really dead — and stays that way this time.
Why not? They’re comping that surgery for life-sentence prison inmates. Might as well give this turd the $100grand hookup as well.
“Eric Harroun dead. . . . . again?”
There. Fixed it for you.
Pics or it didn’t happen.
RIP or who fucking cares waste of space.
How could he have been charged with a crime if our current administration is supporting the very people he went and fought with?
Stars and Stripes is reporting cause of death as “drug overdose”.
