Marines instructors under investigation after death of Muslim recruit

The Marines have launched an internal investigation into staff at a boot camp in Parris Island, S.C., after Muslim recruit Raheel Siddiqui died in an apparent suicide 11 days after arriving. Fifteen drill instructors are now under investigation, as scrutiny increases of military practices that many believe cross the line from teasing, camaraderie, and toughening-up into danger.

The Parris Island drill instructors face allegations of hazing, assault, and physical abuse, the Marines announced Thursday. The probe into Mr. Siddiqui's death has sparked a wider investigation into wrongdoing in his training unit, known as the "Thumping Third Battalion," as The Wall Street Journal reported.

At the center of the investigation is Siddiqui's senior drill instructor, who was already under investigation for allegedly hazing minority recruits, including putting a previous Muslim recruit into a clothes dryer and making racially charged remarks.

I was in Army Basic training way back when.

Strict discipline and hazing was what toughened you up and turned you into a man and a lean, mean, fighting machine.

Regardless of the outcome here, I'm just pissed of what our whole Military has become.

...putting a previous Muslim recruit into a clothes dryer...

Unacceptable. You're supposed to go through 'wash' and 'rinse' first.

There’s always an investigation in this situation. Rightly so.
I doubt this will be a fair one though.
