Ringleader?
Jan. 16th, 2005 12:34 pmWell, the military has convicted Specialist Graner of being a really bad boy. That's nice. Ten years strikes me as being either not enough, or too much.
Anyway, based on my own antique military experience, I seriously doubt he was the ringleader they make him out to be. An E-4, even in the combat chain of command (which a specialist isn't, or wasn't back when I knew the definitions), has about enough authority and latitude of action to wipe his own ass without command supervision.
On a totally unrelated note, the weather PTBs are forecasting 4"+/- of snow overnight. _If_ we get that, or more, I may be back in business for ski outings. Forested trails should still have a base, even after the warm and rain. Hope, hope, hope....
