Another round of friendly fire stories, this time used to cover-up murders. That nasty small-town 'press' just won't accept the facts.

What kind of soldier would want to shoot such a comrade once, let alone another 4 times?

If it was my boy he really would need protecting, it would be best he stayed in Iraq.

Hey, you are a Canadian, you know, peace, love, dove, smoke dope and drive the ice road...

Ain't got nuthin' to do with it Sundowner.
Make a germane comment, or Eff off.

Pop since you don't know exactly what friendly fire is and obviously the person who wrote this artcle doesnt either I think you should be the one to Eff off.

Absolutely disgraceful. This reaks of someone in her immediate chain of command covering their own ***... I hope the dirtbag gets stripped and court-martialed. There is no excuse for Officers or NCO's that don't take responsibility for their actions. How can we have an effective chain of command and efficient military with selfish, career-minded individuals like that?

Nicky , even in your most psychotic state I would hope you wouldn't describe what happened to this soldier as 'friendly fire'. Or maybe you 'know' something about her that you're not at liberty to divulge.

To do so would give cretinism a bad name.

Back at ya.

Eagle, Nicky and Sunshiner

What happened to that great 'family' of arms that looks out for each other?

You doofi represent everything that's wrong with what could be the greatest force for good on earth.

Thank you for helping us outsiders understand.

This from a Canadian that never even served in the Canadian military, not that the Canadian military would even have him, ha ha ha ha ha!...
How's the ice road? Still supplying the polar bears in the best of Canadian tradition...

This is a double tragedy. You would think the military might have learned something from L/CPL Lautebach's death.

Abuse in the ranks can not be tolerated, period. This has to be taken seriously.

I think some NCO's and Officers in SPC Kamisha Block's unit ought to fry for gross negligence and dereliction of duty for starters. Then double whammy them for trying yo cover it up.

Perhaps the most pertinent post in a thread full of willy-waving.

Raises a good question too - what were Block's platoon/troop subaltern and sergeant doing while she was being harassed? It's after all a subby's job to pick up when there's trouble amongst his/her soldiers and sort it out before it gets to this stage.

Agreed. Unfortunately the recent pattern would suggest that person will be E-5 or below.

popsiq...
All due respect to you and your postings of late...

It seems that you have and do take exceptions to uncovering many articles denegrating the US military...handing out a laundry basket of anti-US military dirt at every whipstich.
The links you show are suspect in the least, as far as being refutable and reliable...and, in many cases, have been proven to be caustically anti-US and anti-US Military.

Having known that...it is best in the interests of everyone that you refrain from posting anything military-related...pro- or otherwise in the future.
All you have done, and have continued to do is stir up yet another hornet's nest with your anti-US military postings.

You have no military experience whatsoever...so please butt out of any future military-related discussions...because of your attitude.

There are legions of members without military experience who have NOT taken the tangent you have...and have stirred up the emotions of late as you have.

Bottomline...
This article is a clear, undisguised attempt to bait and draw members into an out and out one-sided fist fight that will, in the end, cause some ill-feelings to surface...as this topic has already exhibited.
This topic will degenerate quickly unless it comes to a screeching halt.
This a no-win situation.

Excellent arguement made...
