3 Face Hazing Charges After Marine Commits Suicide

A military court hearing for three Marines accused of hazing a fellow Marine who later committed suicide in Afghanistan focused Thursday on whether the accused intended to harm the deceased or discipline him so he would stop falling asleep while on watch duty.


The Marines are charged with "wrongfully humiliating and demeaning" 21-year-old Lance Cpl. Harry Lew, of Santa Clara, Calif., who shot himself with a machine gun April 3 in the Helmand province of Afghanistan.

How do you shoot yourself with a machine gun?

Put your finger, or other object, against trigger and push.

Fall asleep while on watch in a war zone? His buddies SHOULD have SHOT him themselves. Some sissies don't belong in uniform.

Sissy? He fell asleep, he didn't run from a fight. Besides that, he is dead.

No...he didn't run. He merely risked the lives of all of his fellow soldiers. Repeatedly. He's dead? Could have been a LOT worse. Then what would you say? It was some OTHER Marine's fault?

You consistently write crap that is not easily understood. Or makes sense. This is another instance.
