Somebody on here told a story about taking a cab to their new posting with other service members, and the cab driver charging them ten times the normal fare, with the idea in mind these guys couldn’t get even accused of trying to stiff a cab fare due to their security clearances and/or military regs. They ended up giving the cabbie everything they had in their pockets.
It is possible the cab guy tried to stiff the wrong Gunny somehow. No excuse, but I’d like to know the Gunny’s side.
Even if that's what happened it's no excuse for what he did.The correct way to handle it is to get on the phone to the police and let them settle it.Whether it was booze,drugs or PTSD the Marine was way,way,WAY out of line.
“It is possible the cab guy tried to stiff the wrong Gunny somehow. No excuse, but I’d like to know the Gunny’s side.”
No money exchanged hands and the victim was just doing his job of driving a cab.
As for the Gunny he will soon be an inmate breaking rocks in the hot sun.
