Marine Drill Sergeant Charged With 224 Counts of Abusing Recruits

[Mrs Behavin]

SAN DIEGO — A U.S. Marines drill instructor has been charged with 224 counts of abusing recruits, a Marines spokesman said Thursday.
Sgt. Jerrod M. Glass postponed making a plea during a court appearance at San Diego Marine Corps Recruit Depot, where he worked, said spokesman Austin Mansfield. The charges include 91 counts of assault, 89 of failure to obey lawful orders and 27 of cruelty and maltreatment.
Glass had worked as a drill sergeant for less than a year when the alleged mistreatment occurred in January and February. No member of his platoon was seriously injured.
In one incident, Glass allegedly ordered a recruit to jump head-first into a trash can and then pushed him further into the container, according to court documents cited in The San Diego Union-Tribune. He is also accused of striking recruits with a tent pole and a heavy flashlight.
In court Wednesday, Glass did not speak except to answer basic questions from the judge, Lt. Col. Jeffrey Meeks. Defense lawyer Capt. Patrick J. Callahan asked that all counts be read aloud.

"The charges include 91 counts of assault, 90 of failure to obey lawful orders and 27 of cruelty and maltreatment."

All of those are serious charges and not marks of a worthy drill instructor.

Because of "ideas" like this:

Yes, I am such a pussy for calling a drill sergeant out for assaulting recruits and not doing his job properly. I really think some of you have a blood lust or something.

If the worst thing that happens to you in the military is being put in a trash can, then you got off lucky. If you can't handle that, how are you supposed to handle bullets flying at you?

They were beaten, not just shoved in trashcans.

But nice ad hominem attack on my personality though.

Fine. I'll change it to because of "ideas" like this.

Sorry AEF. I thought you were talking about the above quote.

Please do not, under any circumstances, ever assume that I care if I offend you. Not even a little bit. :tongue:
