Marine drill sargeant gets 10 years

[Major Tom]

For being abusive to muslim recruits. Hey, those DIs were always abusive to all their troops in basic training. It was nothing to get wacked with a stick when you screwed up. That's what made boys MEN!

But what do you do with those "gentle" souls who just want to teach the world to love?

Sounds like people don't take time to familiarize themselves with the facts of the case.

I just did. Really can't be denied this bad apple went overboard & never should have been made DI--though he probably had no choice of assignment. But his punishment is as excessive as his alleged misbehavior, and demonstrates he was being made a PC scapegoat. Kicking him out of the Corps was justified, but TEN YEARS in prison on top of a Dishonorable Discharge? What can he do upon release but become a career criminal, because he'll never find a decent job? The Texas church killer got only 1 yr for more serious, but non-PC, offenses.

I think the charges only came because they couldn't get the smell out of the dryer.

Yes, a DD and TEN years and a deserter gets NONE !?
