i think IF guilty and IF being the key word.i would rather wait and see the outcome. something happened thats for sure, but i want to hear more about it, before i go judging. IF they are found guilty of anything they should be punished. but i do believe even the military should be given the same rights as those they risk their lives to protect.

Thanks. Everytime a negative story about the military comes out in the news, or something happens that places the services in a bad light, the majority of the enlisted and commisioned personnel get upset with the person that caused the incident.  A great deal of the people that serve our country are hard working, honest law abiding citizens and we really do care about the way we look to the public, then there are some that just dont get it, they dont realize they represent our nation, and all the ones that served before them.  To have something like this happen is inexcusable, I hope, if guilty, these fellas get the maximum punishment available.

I see what you’re saying! I apologize for mis-typing.

I should have said:
The only thing THESE Army guys and 16 year old girls have in common has got to be binge drinking!

Kx your statement  
“The only thing 16 year old girls and Army guys have in common, is binge drinking. I’m not going to be surprised at all if these girls overdosed on drugs or alcohol!

I dont see some Army guys, these Army guys,,, I see Army guys,,,,

Why would I apologize to someone who had a DEAD GIRL in their room!?!?!

I would say the ones that have 16 year old girls in their rooms probably do???

Did you have 16 year old girls unconscious and dead in your room?

Kx to make the assumption that all Army guys are binge drinkers is b.s.  I am retired military and I know a lot of military people that do not drink, including myself. A statement like that is not necessary, coming from a person that has already stated on this board they wouldn’t enlist.  So dont sit in your comfy chair, and feel the freedom you have is given to you by a bunch of drunks. An apology to the military would be inorder this time.

“The Army is investigating what the girls were doing in the barracks and whether drugs or alcohol were involved.”

The only thing 16 year old girls and Army guys have in common, is binge drinking. I’m not going to be surprised at all if these girls overdosed on drugs or alcohol!

i love our military, are they all perfect no. i would like to wait and see all the facts. i believe the military investigators will do a great job.

hollyb, if the military is so good how come this arrest and conviction was made?http://www.strykernews.com/archives/2005/07/15/soldier_charged_with_murder.html How come anyone I’ve ever seen commit a crime in the military is swiftly punished? Even in the public eye? Where are you getting YOUR information?? Sounds a little sketchy to me.
This death was a little too close to home for me, as her high school is 3 blocks away from where I live, she was found in barracks I USED to live in, and also found where I work.
