What a damn shame.


Well, he’s certainly facing worse charges now. Moron.
The judgment of God is far worse than any court martial he would have faced.
This is the family I just did casualty notification on. Not primary next of kin though.
I was afraid that might be so, but didn’t want to ask.
And I’m glad I never got tapped for that duty.
My Dad had some stories from Casualty Notification Dduty he was on during Vietnam that were just awful. The worst for me was when he and the Chaplain showed up at the door and the mother simply said “when do we get the check?”
