I wouldn’t feel safe up on the line with an armed muslim behind me.
Not everyone can be a Marine.
“threatened to commit suicide on the first day of boot camp if he were not allowed to leave.”
You’re not a Marine until you make it through boot camp.
How did this whack-job pussy ever get recruited and sent to P.I. in the first place?
The Corps needs to take a hard look at the recruiter who signed him up.
Agreed.
If you expect a cozy boot camp, here’s what my SDI told us on Formation Day: “We have 12 weeks to undue all the damage your mother has done in 18 years.” And they did.
Looking for sympathy - look in the dictionary between sh!t and syphylis.
It’s bad when anyone commits suicide, but it will happen no matter what. This kid had no business anywhere near the military, but since he was a protected class, good men will be punished.
Scape-goating has become our military leadership’s favorite pass time. Basic is supposed to prepare recruits for battle. If someone can’t stand being yelled at, sleep deprived, hungry, berated, belittled, scared, sore, lonely, embarrassed, and pushed beyond what they imagine is their physical limits; they do not belong in the military.
You want to talk hazing? My son is a corpsman who went green side and his initiation was brutal. He could tell you some stories, but you couldn’t torture him enough to say a bad word about his crew. I guarantee that any one of them would lay down their lives for one another.
Unless there is documented physical abuse with serious bruising and scars, this is all bovine excrement that will again reduce capability. 10 days? Puking fussies don’t belong in combat units!
