or does it?
They used to promote guys like this. We are in a downward spiral.

By today's standards, my DI's would have received 6 life sentences...!
If the other Sgt's outrank him, I do not trust this article to get the ranks correct, they will go to prison.
“San Diego Marines”
Personally I don’t like to joke about how California attitudes seep into Marine Boot camp just because of geographical location but......
This trial has left coast/left wing pansies written all over it.
the worst I ever got was an 8 hour trash can watch...outside, in the winter.....
That in and of itself justifies the conviction and sentence.
I have 2 reactions:
“In his closing arguments yesterday for the sentencing phase, prosecutor Capt. Brent Stricker asked jurors to send Glass to prison.”
Seeing statements like that shows just how self-righteous one must be to be a prosecutor — you have to leave the button in your brain in the “off” position that would normally tell you that you’re really going “over the top”.
Second, this strikes me an analogous to Abu Ghraib prison camp abuse, in that both prison and boot camp provide a ‘theatre’ for certain people with a sadistic impulse. That’s why the activities have to be carefully managed. In Abu Ghraib, the army let a very little gang of immature, deviant,obsessed national guardsmen/women bring (with help from the leftist media) shame on the US.
So oversight in these settings is critical, and was clearly missing here.
