An airman shot his commander, murder-suicide like Full Metal Jacket, no real story there.

its too bad that people crack. If you can make it through basic, you're typically tough as shit.

Its gotta be hard though, coming from our pampered lives to a place where you are not the special snowflake.

Really? This is your position without knowing the facts.

First, you do know it was a Technical Sergeant. (He hasn't had a "pampered life" in a while.)

Second, he was facing administrative punishment. (Not somebody off the bus after basic ill prepared for acclimation)

Son just came back this week from AIT. Every time I talked to him in BCT he was complaining about how bad most of the other people were, no respect, not following orders, etc. I mean, you signed up for the fucking military, did you expect them to treat you like your parents and let you do whatever you wanted? Fuck no, they want to break you down and turn you into a soldier who follows orders. And in the process a few of the eggs crack permanently.
