> 19 yr old that Wanted Out of the Marines, Drowns at Boot Camp

I am a former elisted man of the U.S. Air force. I can safely say say that the treatment of this marine was totaly wrong. Jason had written to his home saying how little time he had to eat during meal time and how this had left him in a weekend state of health. Which to me is quite apparent when I see the images of a grown healthy man hitting and shoving this recruit that had a half dead look about him as he did.
I cannot believe that this was an accidental drowning. They stood around watching Jason die and did nothing, and most likly were still hollering at him like drill instucters do. I have lost all faith in my countrie’s military. (of what faith I had left from my time in service) What they did to him was MURDER! All because he couldn’t quite live up to the standards of sick manliness that is known as the United Stats Marine Corps.
