To be fair, they did discharge him. But he didn't even get the Dishonorable Discharge, they gave him a Bad Conduct Discharge. The better question would be, where can you PURPOSEFULLY destroy $200,000 of your employers property and not go to jail?

I once had to escort a guy to the restricted barracks after he was found walking Orange Blossom Trail (Orlando) wearing nothing but a Steak n Shake Apron and a dog collar.


He was culturally appropriating Florida Man.

They can (and likely have) made him liable for the cost. He'll never be able to pay it but they'll get something out of him.

I love the commentary on the video.

Sgt giving the commentary was disciplined as well. It is detailed way down in the link. Sucks for him, if the video hadn't gone viral and gotten viewed 1.5 million times no one would have ever known he was running his mouth.

He was the second soldier to be punished for the incident. A sergeant first class heard laughing and cursing in the video of the Humvees falling from the sky was given an administrative letter of reprimand, Stars and Stripes reported.

Video of the April 2016 incident went viral after it was posted on social media, and has over 1.4 million views on YouTube.
