danny chen, a 19 yr old army private committed suicide after being hazed by an army sgt... he was dragged across the ground on his bare skin, kicked, pelted with rocks, was called racial slurs that were announced over a loud speaker, and was made to sleep on the floor...

the sgt.'s attorney stated that chen slept while on duty and that the sgt was angry with him/ his performance...

wth???

Soldier said he endured slurs from sergeant charged in death

So much for upholding professional standards in the military...this just makes the rest of us look bad.

 i do understand that but to deliberately beat and physically/ verbally taunt a person like that is wrong...thats why he's being reprimanded and charged with murder...im sure the dead officer knew that he wasn't going to the boy scouts ...nor did he think he'd be treated like that

may he rest in peace

Lots of horror stories about your military services.  If it isn't gays being taunted and hurt, it's females being sexually harrassed, or stories such as this poor young man.  Sad state of affairs, and not a lot to be proud of.

The kid blew his head off in the latrine...It was a huge deal. The higher ups were relieved of duty and then court martialed..was a big story at the time. My BIL was so shaken...and not to mention..someone had to clean up the mess...

sigh...very horrible
