Let's see. Arrested while walking around wearing a kevlar helmet, carrying a stick, and threatening to break windows. Sounds like a real looney tunes type to me. Hopefully the Army shrinks will sort him out and kick him out of the Army before he gets back to his unit. Real soldiers do not abuse any kids, much less their own four year old daughters! Sad that this happened to the little girl. I hope that there are responsible family members who can care for her, considering that he recently gained custody. This suggests to me that neither parents are too tightly wrapped. But, since real soldiers tend to be serious about serving the nation and protecting our people and since these same soldiers tend to take seriously the role of protecting those who cannot protect themselves... Well, I'd hate to be in his shoes when his squad and platoon mates spend some 'quality time' with him.

One account of the history of the (B)GLO pledge process and hazing takes it back to the military and specifically what happened when these men returned from active duty. They applied their military techniques and interrogation tactics to GLOs, which is one explanation for the "line up" method of pledging.

Therefore, it should be no surprise that the same thing happens with families. We can't socialize people to various extents and teach them military tactics but then expect them (without extensive therapy--and I know some therapy is offered/provided) to transition out of it effectively and be able to separate military from nonmilitary. Then people expect people in the military to retain things like discipline and apply it to everyday life but not apply anything else they learned. Good job with that.

Yes, I read about this as well and think it's definitely true. Our "old" pledge process has the military written all over it when you think about it.
