Whoever set that narrative was definitely a civilian, who had never spent a solitary microsecond in uniform. No enlisted person would have ever given this guy a hard time, about anything (does the term "Insubordination" ring a bell here?) neither would either warranted, or commissioned officers (does the term "conduct unbecoming an officer" sound familiar?). Those are career breakers, and could lead to Bad Conduct Discharges, or worse (*that* follows a recipient for the rest of their lives.)
*ANY*, and I say again, for posible penetration, *any* person who has spent even a short amount of time as a member of the armed forces is going to call "Bravo Sierra" on this, and I most certainly do. It is a complete and utter lie...

I am extremely disappointed with the coverage of this tragedy.
1. Your point is spot on. Anyone who's ever worn the uniform knows harassment of this type would have been severely dealt with by the chain of command. It's even more true today than when I left the Army 25 years ago.
2. On more than one occasion, news readers had to be corrected on statements such as "hey, this was an army base. Thousands of people carrying weapons all the time!" It was obvious that these jerks, including Shep Smith on Fox, had never set foot on a military installation.
