[GI Korea] Army Private Sentenced for Assaulting NCO

Published: Sun, 9 Jul 2006 07:19:31 +0900


I hope this idiot learned his lesson:



Pvt. John S. McCombs of the Army¿s 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade was sentenced June 24 to reduction from E-2 to the Army¿s lowest pay grade, E-1, plus 150 days in jail.* A five-member jury handed up the sentence in a court-martial that began June 23 at Camp Humphreys. Earlier, the jury found McCombs guilty of assaulting a noncommissioned officer and of drunk and disorderly conduct.


The Army tried McCombs under its rules for special courts-martial before Lt. Col. Mark Sposato, a military judge.* The events that led to the court-martial began the night of March 17 at a taxi stand outside Osan Air Base, prosecutors said.


There, McCombs and two companions looked to take a taxi to Suwon Air Base, their duty station. An Air Force master sergeant also stationed there asked if he could share the cab ride.* Three of the servicemembers sat in back, the airman in the middle and McCombs on his left, according to the prosecution.


Enroute to Suwon, McCombs addressed the airman, who was in civilian clothes, with ¿the N word,¿ prosecutors said. Both McCombs and the airman are white.* The airman identified himself as a senior NCO and told McCombs his use of the racial slur was inappropriate and not to use it again.


At that point, the prosecution said, McCombs attacked the NCO, punching him repeatedly in the head.



At least he didn't assault the taxi driver.* Anyway I'm all for sending these idiots to jail.* The Camp Humphreys Confinement Facility is no country club, so five months there should hopefully send a message to other people who like to get drunk and disorderly to modify their conduct.

Good to see justice served against people who should have never made it past the recruiter.
