    I would make him pay to replace the vehicles for as long as it takes.

      When I was in the Army back in the "good 'ol days", if a trooper "lost" his weapon (outside of combat loss) his pay was docked for the weapon.

        An unbelievable light slap on the wrist.

        Hopefully what he did follows him thru his employment attempts.

          If you won't enforce discipline, you get more crap like this.

            In my day a "lost" weapon meant a lost stripe.
            Yes that BCD will haunt him, unless he can fit into one the "approved" categories of victims.

              "Lost" means he sold it for a nice fat profit.

                Here is the same story on Russia Today. 'Trax understands what I'm getting at if others don't.

                An American soldier has been found guilty of sabotage and destruction of US Army property after an investigation determined he had cut the parachute straps of three Humvee vehicles that were destroyed in a 2016 training exercise.

                  Less costly than the kid that burnt the nuclear submarine, Portsmouth NH, (causing its decommissioning and scrapping) in order to get released from work early to visit his girlfriend.

                  I think that kid got twenty years but Id not be surprised to learn he is currently out and about on parole.

                  More dumb stuff happens when there are no consequences commensurate to the crime committed.
