Highly decorated Staff Sargent from Ft Lewis with family in the Puget Sound region. Three tours.
My guess, Anglo-Saxon white man.
No, it DOES NOT STINK! The Army and the USA has a responsibility to keep his family safe...and probably 5 days to relocate.
Moronic.
Buddy of mine’s a retired SF colonel out of Ft Lewis. He told me after it happened the Army moved the guy’s family back on to the base. His name hasn’t been revealed yet so they can have a bit of privacy and figure out what the hell is going on and what they’ll do.
Well you have more information than I do then. The only thing I've read is "unnamed soldier".
Anyone who wants to sit back and call this soldier’s actions unacceptable are, IMO, just as bad as that a$$hole in the White Hut.
Yeah, call for the death penalty.
When you can’t trust any of the people you are supposed to be helping, from the locals, to their military, to their government, to our commanders and politicians and you just can’t take any more, then, IMO, what he did is completely acceptable.
I think he was backed into a corner. And now let’s back him up against a wall?
The military has it’s head up their collective butt when it comes to any treatment. They bring people home, get them out and wash their hands.
And with no help too many returned troops are KILLING THEMSELVES.
That sure is a win-win.
Let’s call what he did an atrocity.
The ATROCITY has been committed against him. Against his brothers. Against OUR SONS. AGAINST YOU.
Kill a few and you are a murderer. Kill thousands and you are a conquerer. Kill MILLIONS and you are a god.
I laud his effort.
