There are bad apples in EVERY profession on the face of the earth. Doctors, Lawyers, musicians, artists, police, firemen, ad infinitum.

The US military is a cross section of society. As such the occasional bad apple gets through the screening, training and eval.

Unlike most militaries on the face of the earth, the US military prosecutes our bad apples and we get rid of them.

DO NOT! cast aspersions on the entire military because of the actions of one or two idiots.
