Perhaps napping on the job???
This is a pretty pathetic story. What was the motive?
Sleeping during guard duty? I wonder...
A blanket party was not sufficient?
If a guard falls asleep on duty he risks everyone elses life. Not that this was the case.
I don’t believe it for a minute. We had Koreans, Filipinos, ex-Cubans, Chinese, Puerto Ricans, and practically everything else when I was in the Navy and I can tell you that any “bullying” they are reporting is nothing but good natured teasing. If anyone got out of line, the rest of us would put him in his place. There is more to this story that they aren’t telling or more likely deliberately leaving out.

I don’t care what this kid may have done wrong.
As a NCO, you don’t allow this kind of treatment (if the allegations are true) of soldiers. Period. There are systems in place to get rid of people who can’t hack it in a line unit.
You incorporate these young soldiers in your daily functions in a positive way. Not alienate them and treat them like garbage. There are more constructive ways to discipline someone.
If you can’t mentally or physically hack it in the Infantry, you don’t belong. If you are a disgusting human being with no honor or moral character ( like the article suggests ) then you don’t belong either.
Armed forces under the Democrats,always turns into a violent and pathetic environment where everyone is willing to screw over everyone else.The idea that that kind of an environment produces rough but tough soldiers is pretty much just that...a myth.
It is not the kind of place where people get along with each other,a shame the Army under former President Bush was probably more willing to accept other cultures because of the real dangers it faced and because there was an honest to God character to a lot of the leadership and the soldiers there.
