But on May 15, the 36-year-old Army major’s family was mourning his death, a day after he was killed by enemy small-arms fire in Pakistan, the Department of Defense said.

“We are left with many joyous and happy memories, and we are left with a lot of sadness of unfulfilled dreams,” his wife, Wesley Bauguess, said in a statement.

Bauguess, of Moravian Falls, was an operations officer with the 4th Brigade Combat Team’s Special Troops Battalion with the 82nd Airborne Division, based at Fort Bragg.

“He was where he wanted to be; next to his commander, on the ground, in the fight,” Maj. Kenneth J. Ratashak, executive officer of the 508th Special Troop’s Battalion, said in a statement. “If he knew [Monday] would turn out the way it did, he would have gone anyway. That’s just who he was.”

Washington, Apr 4, 2008 (ANI): Pakistan’s Frontier Corps, which mans several border checkpoints, is viewed as nearly an enemy force and an active facilitators of infiltration by US troops fighting in Afghanistan.

“The Frontier Corps might as well be Taliban. They are active facilitators of infiltration,” said a US soldier on condition of anonymity.

Last May, after Major Larry J. Bauguess Jr. of the 82nd Airborne Division attended a meeting to ease frictions between Afghan and Pakistani forces in the Pakistani frontier town of Teri Mengel, he was shot dead by a Frontier Corps guard, military officials said.

Captain Chris Hammonds, commander of Attack Company 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, said that a greater frustration, he and other US troops have is that they cannot trust their Pakistani counterparts.

“The Pakistan military is corrupt and lets people come through,” the Washington Post quoted Hammonds, as saying.
