Button, Depression & Lubitz
Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 2:43 pm
Air Force Captain Craig Button, 32, the A-10 pilot whose attack plane allegedly crashed
into a 13,000 foot mountain in the Rockies, allegedly committed suicide because he was
afraid his estranged male lover, another flier, was about to expose their affair,
according to a May 2, 1997 report in Arizona's Tucson Citizen. If the pilot, who
was single, had been under an investigation due to his “suspect” sexuality, he could,
because of Pentagon policy, have faced discharge.The Citizen account read that Button,
“apparently intentionally smashed (his) plane into a Colorado peak because his private
life was about to be revealed by an estranged (gay) lover.”The Tucson Citizen quoted its
inside source as having said that investigators think that Button, a New York state native,
had targeted Craig Peak on New York Mountain in the Central Rockies.It’s amazing to me
that every allegation raised and printed in every report on Craig Button, starts with
“The Tucson Citizen quoted its inside source,” or an “unknown Source,” is always behind
the allegations against Craig’s character. Unfortunately the plane crashed on Gold Dust
Peak,directly south of Craig Peak on New York Mountain, so like all the other gay, suicide,
and other abnormal theories espoused to explain why and what exactly happened to Craig Button,
the facts just didn't support any of these claims. It was an inconvenient truth. The
Service-members Legal Defense Network, a national organization dedicated to assisting
military personnel hurt by the “Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Pursue” policy, first alerted Gay Today's
international correspondent, Rex Wockner. SLDN had noted the Tucson Citizen'sre port, but
currently indicated it had “no independent information to substantiate or verify the news
story.” Hmmm…
