   Whoever he was he wasn't worth the number of brain cells needs to remember him    
   by.

   Wow, promotion in reverse...  Lance corp (E3) comes before corporal (E4)...    
      
   Well, I was an actual corporal in the crotch  from 1979 -1984.  If any of your   
   platoon   
   mates even looked slightly bent, the platoon made their life a living hell and   
   they didn't   
   stick around for very long.  It wasn't condoned or tolerated and grounds for a   
   dishonorable   
   discharge if caught.

   Not by the boots on the ground.  Denouncing him publicly would have been bad   
   for   
   public relations so they let it slide since there was fuck-all else they could   
   do about   
   without looking bad.
