  • Kids like this just dont belong in the military his death was an accident nothing more. No bill should be passed. It's not day care. What the hell does his dad think would happen if he got deployed and became a pow I'm pretty sure he w

  • Not sure why, but this kid was on my heart today. We graduated from high school together. He was so nice, quiet, and even natured. He's a good boy who left this world far too soon.

  • @tony818 Exactly, not sure where that military law expert gets "assault" from.

  • I knew Jason :( Our brothers have been friends for years. To everyone who's being hateful- No, he didn't belong in the military, but seriously, show some respect. He didn't deserve to die the way he did and I'm sure if that was one of your family members or friends you wouldn't be saying the thing you are despite your opinions.

  • @fourtyseven05

    The other two were Sgt Huff and Sgt Hall (mad dawg). ;)

  • @Mrgruntastic and not UN but USN***

  • Yea, as a former infantry Marines, USMC boot camp is no joke. Let alone getting to the fleet marine force. Jim (the reporter) brings up an excellent point, "UN and the USMC are investigating Jason's death and the conduct of the D.I. who are SUPPOSED to protect him" Which is a responsibility they don't take lightly. If I knew someone couldn't hack boot camp, wouldn't expect them to hack it in the fleet. Very Very unfortunate. RIP Kid.

    Semper Fi.

  • There is much about this that makes absolutely no sense. First, how could his parents think their skinny artsy son could be a marine (or was it just for the money)? Second, why would the marines neglect the sick? Coughing up blood is a seriously bad sign. Third, after 5 letters of asking to get out why was he not discharged? Why keep someone against their will? Is this the American way? Also, how could nobody have seen him drowning and not help? This whole thing is sickening.

  • im sorry the kid died. but in this line of work its common. when i was in the corps my boot camp training was alot tougher than what it is today. in the military people die in training.

  • ONE ARMS DISTANCE FREAK.. YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO STRAIGHT UP BUMB SHOULDERS WITH A DRILL INSTRUCTOR.. IF YOU DO SO... YOURE GONNA GO DOWN.. AND YOURE GONNA GO DOWN QUICK.. I WAS TOLD BY A DRILL INSTRUCTOR THAT IF I DIDNT HURRY THE FREAK UP AND FIND MY CHOW.. HE WAS GONNA PUT MY ASS UP ON A DOG TARGET AND DO SOME RAPID FIRE ON MY PUNK ASS.. OH WELL GET OVER IT..
