So much more effective than scaring someone the old fashioned way by sneaking up on them and yelling something.
Two soldiers, joined by a third man, were drinking alcohol and watching football at the time of the Sunday night incident, authorities said.
“The victim had the hiccups. The suspect (Pfc. Patrick Edward Myers, 27) pulled out a gun to scare him in order to stop the hiccups” and shot the victim (Pfc. Isaac Lawrence Young, 22) in the face killing him.

Tragic. Another reminder not to hang around stupid people, even if they are a friend of a friend.
I bet Patrick will be affectionately known as “Hiccups” in prison.
Thoughts?

So disrespectful. A lot of people just don’t “get it” because they are so far removed from death in war. For most, I imagine visiting there is just another meaningless stop on the list before they head to the Cheesecake Factory. I’ve never been to war, so I don’t know what it’s like either… but I definitely can comprehend the gravity of the commitment and sacrifice every soldier makes.
I guess that’s what 8 months without seeing him will do. Almost makes me wish I had a dog. Once they learn to poop in toilets and wipe their asses i’ll be the first one in line.
According to the video 1 out of 5 single amputee soldiers return to duty. That’s amazing. I hope it’s out of a dedication to their job though, and not because “someone’s gotta pay the bills” because the disability money is not enough to live off.
