Wait, the guy cut the lines before the drop on purpose?

More importantly - Why?

Can't find anything on the "why".  Was he just not gruntled and decided that needed to be done?

Somehow I missed that first time around.  Since nobody was hurt, that was kind of amusing in a "You don't see that kind of thing every day" way.

Looks like he’s going to be scrubbing toilets with toothbrushes for a while...  not sure why a load master would purposely sabotage his cargo.  mental health issue?

charged with something less serious

He was reprimanded.  Reading between the lines, I'd theorize it was likely more the fact he shared the video than his behavior.

From a military blog I follow.

Sgt. John Skipper, 29, was found guilty at court martial in Vilseck, Germany, of destroying military property and giving a false official statement, according to a statement from the 7th Army Training Command, based in Grafenwoehr.

Skipper was sentenced by a military jury to a bad-conduct discharge and reduction in grade to E-1.

Skipper, a scout who had been assigned to assist the brigade’s Italy-based parachute riggers during the exercise, intentionally cut parachute straps on three Humvees included in the heavy drop during the exercise, the jury found.

As a tax payer that just pisses me off.  They should garnish his future wages until the expense (including lost opportunity during the exercise) is fully repaid with interest.

You do mean garnish his civilian wages, I'm assuming...since he was kicked out of the military...

I'm sure the laughing chump has already taken a few punches to the chops and will continue to experience the effects of his acting a chump for quite a while.

Yes.  The IRS will know where he works.

UCMJ does not work like that. There is a finite limit as to how much and for how long you can reduce an individuals pay. In this case, take solace in that no more of your precious tax partial pennies will be used in his salary.

And he won’t be receiving any Veterans benefits either.

Don’t worry, the only way your few pennies will go to help this dude is if he goes on government assistance... .
