Yup....good bye recruiting shortages hello palice chase.
Seriously people what do you expect. The military is full of fine citizens. BUT, look were we recruit from. Look at college kids and look at the things they do. Look at our teenagers and some of the things they do that have been caught of "video".
This is your military...the good....the bad...the ugly.
Is this a surpise? If so you are SNOWED. Do you think this sort of thing has never happend before? If the anser is no please grab your ears and bang your head against your computer screen.
The difference is this: We have high speed internet and digital cameras very plentiful. You are going to see the ugliest sides of humanity almost as they happen.
You have people that want to hide there head in the sand and politicise EVERYTHING.
Stabby you are correct....this watermelon is gonna happen....it wouldnt matter if Bush were pres. It wouldnt matter if kerry were pres. It wouldnt matter if George Washinton himself were CIC.
BUT think of it this way. These people are a minority in the military. Right or wrong this is not the norm. The norm is you do your job.....you follow the rules....or you end up shackled in an orange jump suit.
