A Muslim Marine said he was called a terrorist and ordered into an industrial clothes dryer multiple times by a drill instructor who then turned it on, burning him, according to investigative documents that provide new details about the alleged abuse of recruits at the service’s training center at Parris Island, S.C.

It could be that the drill instructor took the phrase “unwashed masses” literally, thinking that it said “unwashed Muslims”.
They used to use cattle prods too.
Frankly, I don’t want any mussie so in our armed forces
Humidity would have been lower as well
The government gets pissed when you damage their property. It was dryer abuse.
“I stayed in bachelor’s quarters on FT Benning for a few weeks. There were officers from several two bit banana republics going to school there. One day I opened up the dryer and it smelled like a musty locker room. The culprit - in the dryer were some brightly colored camo uniforms, which could only come from some hellhole nation in Africa. The guy must have got them all sweaty, and decided to dry them...without washing them first.”
Ugh!! Disgusting!
Thank you for your service!!
I guess it is wrong that my first thought was “Why only one?”
Since this appeared in the pro-military Washington Post, I’ll wait for additional confirmation that it really happened. Taqqiyah & all that stuff.
Especially the part about drill instructors drunk on duty with “Fireball Whiskey”. Hmm....
I am dismayed that so many Freepers think it is ok to abuse a recruit as long as he is Muslim.
I think the story is BS.
Did you order the “ Timed Dry” your dam right I did !!!
I looked up the Ribbon Creek Incident. Why would anyone join the Marines without knowing how to swim?
Did the DI use fabric softener?
Sorry.

That’s two days in a row that the Compost has run with a story that is yet to be unconfirmed regarding poor, poor, victimized Muslims. More will come I’m sure. CAIR will be happy to provide them with all kinds of fake stories.
Ugh, must have been there at a bad time. I’ve stayed at the BOQ a couple of times several years ago and was surprised at how nice it was compared to years past. Since I now like to bring my dog for extended TDY trips(DA civilian now), I usually stay off post, but always enjoy my time there.
***I am dismayed that so many Freepers think it is ok to abuse a recruit as long as he is Muslim.***
Must suck to be you.
This stay was around 1993. The BOQs were very old. Anyway, after I check in, I discover the cable hardly works - only get court tv and a Hispanic channel. I also discover the heat doesn’t work. So, I fill out the required maintenance form, and turn it in...to a guy who laughs in my face and sarcastically promises to fix things...btw, this is one of the reasons I fear Obamacare - I KNOW what its like when you have to get a service from the government, with no other options.
Anyway, in the evenings I binge watched the Menendez trial (and the occasional scantily clad gameshow hostess on Spanish tv), sitting next to an iron for heat (I’d leave it on for hours). Sometimes I just ran the hot water for a few hours in the shower to heat things up. I know - its FT Benning, but it was winter. The hall lights were always on, and I could peek under my door and see the giant roaches crawling around - so I put the legs of my bed in buckets of water to keep them off of me while I slept.
Glad it got better.
And the problem is?
it would have been worse if the turd admitted he was a college graduate.
If the heat went on that is bad. If they want to train them to be tough then remove the heating coil.
I would like to see the dryer. No normal dryer would turn long with 120+ pounds inside. Would bust instantly.
