Thanks. I finally got a grasp on it :)

This is a fairly new Army MOS calle 09L or zero nine Lima - Translator/Interpreter. It appears they take native Arabic/Persian speakers and let them join the US Army.

They are shipped off to Ft Jackson where they undergo intense English language training in preparation for US Army Basic Training. Once they meet the minimum skill level for English, they take Basic Training and then continue on to their advanced schooling which actually trains them to be proficient in their MOS - 09L.

So these bozos never actually made it out to the field as they were discharged either during their language course, during which everyone is assigned a laptop, or Basic Training.

Wait a minute. Were 4 of the perps were returned to their countries of origin???

The The Daily Caller reports that:

Unconfirmed initial reports said three of the Jackson Five were sent back to National Guard units, one was to be discharged under Chapter 5-17, AR 635-200, and one was being held until the investigation was over.

Reports also indicated two of the suspects had stolen military ID cards and cell phones from other soldiers. No further reference was made to these reports by the Army except to say four of the five recruits were returned to their country of origin. The country was not named.

WTF?
