This is reprehensible behavior. Did 0 set a precedent for this level of crassness by flirting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and taking selfies at Mendela's funeral?

[TweetEBird007]

wasn’t Merkel.

[Talisker]

Bitch should be dishonorably struck from the Guard for seditious conduct.

When I was in Vietnam the graves registration people near our base camp were very weird people. You really didn’t want to be around them.

Drop kick that bitch across the DMZ into N Korea!

She can yuck it up with Kim Yung Dung.

[Impala64ssa]

OOPS, it was the DANISH PM. I stand corrected.

Thank goodness these evil soldiers didn’t do this at Abu Grab, then it might’ve actually made the NYT front page for 65 consecutive days....

Maybe Hillary did by lying at a photo op in front of the coffins of the Benghazi fallen.

Frankly, I think that all of the individuals that participated in that pic deserve some serious brig time and then a BCD or a UD.

It was a training casket. What’s the big deal?

[CorporateStepsister]

I find it admirable that people are enraged to the point of sending this bitch death threats; she deserves it.

There's 14 people clowning around in the photo, why is everybody so furious with this particular woman over the others?

Personally, the goofing around was completely tame and the casket was a training prop, not the real thing.

Death threats in this case are a bit stupid. I think reassigning her and the others to a really crappy detail should be enough.

I’ve worked with JPAC a number of times and have recovered KIA remains in Vietnam. I never saw anything like this, ever. It was pure professionalism and respect for the dead at all times.

Clearly she’s an imbecile and should be strongly encouraged to seek employment elsewhere - say, flipping burgers at the nearest McDonald’s, assuming they’d take her.

Bitch should be dishonorably struck from the Guard for seditious conduct.

What? Do you even know what sedition is?

se·di·tion
noun: sedition; plural noun: seditions

1. conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch.
2. any action, especially in speech or writing, promoting such discontent or rebellion.
3. Archaic. rebellious disorder.

Sure there's disorder resulting, but it's not rebellious at all.

I’m wondering the same thing. I sincerely don’t understand the absolute outrage about this. Sure, it’s childish, but damnable? I don’t understand.

[peeps36]

I'm still trying to figure out what her comment about a jacked up flag meant? She should be reassigned for being stupid enough to post such a picture online.

Most folks around here don't find death threats in response to stupid behavior to be commendable. And while her disrespectful behavior is certainly worthy of discipline, it doesn't even rise close to anything worthy of death threats.

I can understand the graves registration people in a combat zone using a dark sense of humor to survive dealing with so much death on a daily basis

these were national guard people In Wisconsin
