Your right Sgt Sostand, 20 yrs would be more in line, for that
crime. There's just one other fact I don't understand, Booze
in the Barracks. If he didn't have the booze, this probably would
not have happened.

I have to agree with both of you! 20 years is a start! When did they start allowing booze in any barracks? Thats just asking for trouble!

How about 20 yrs at hard labor. If he really walked around for 45 min looking for a weapon then he should have been found guilty of attempted murder, with no question what so ever. Just another example of how our Corps is deteriorating. I am for "Quality of Life" in the barracks but we have let it go too far. Remember the days when all that you were allowed to own had to be able to be stored quickly and easily in order to deploy? Now these kids have home entertainment systems in the barracks. Some units allow these young Marines to have personal furniture such as recliners. As far as alcohol in the barracks, they have been given no choice since the majority of the E-Clubs and NCO clubs are gone.

For a Clp. to attach a Sgt. with a wapon has to be attempted <br />
murder.
