Post a CommentI know what the text read on you link with the video but I didn't hear any racial slurs. All I heard was the trooper giving his location over the radio. Did I miss something or is this shoddy reporting?
Very disturbing thanks for calling some attention to that.
Shocking stuff. Thanks for sharing (and thanks for the nomination)
Everything is new and news to me.Thanks for sharing.
Thanks to everyone who read and commented on this article. Much appreiciated.
A good read by far, in the military we always knew there was alway that "one" and that person could make the whole unit look bad. Thanks for the read. I know cameras are there for more than just use in trial, they are there for an eye opener of all aspects.
I absolutely have no words for this kinda stuff. Thanks so much for the article and shining some light Dee.
A terrible story but well written.
