Police Officer Slaps US Soldier

Wrong idiot, not only have I been robbed by them, they, different Negroes, broke into my parents home, held them at gunpoint and would have shot my downs syndrome brother had my father not stepped in front of the gun...any other bullshit pathetic dumbass questions?

I notice you always ask any more questions, speaks of a need of attention, and an affirmation of your rightness. I didn't ask a question, I made a wrong assumption. Which in fairness I apologize for. Is that when you started hating black people? There's a question.

Hahaha. Let's see if he answers.

Ohh ..I'm a bad ass soldier..haha..seems he forgot about respect from boot camp...maybe these cops came from a murder scene or God knows what else..the world does not revolve around you reservist !

I hope the cop does it every time a cry baby steps up with "me me " demands!

Youre stupido eh ! think you need adjustment as welltambien !

Depends on the troop and the situation/mission. If any NCO or DI from the past couple decades tells you that he slapped or punched a soldier (unless in self defense) as matter of his policy probably has a spot on his record. There are exceptions to the rule like being downrange for one. I've used the approach you're talking about most (99.9%) of the time with different lingo. Back in the day, while I was a trainee, I watched a DI kick a trainee up some stairs. When I became a DI If you did that (not saying it didn't happen) you got to see the old man and at the very least you were "off status" for duration of the investigation. For a regular NCO the rules weren't so stringent depending on the situation. There are other ways to handle the situation. Same applies for officers, "you do not put your hands on the troops unless it's extraordinary circumstances" period. The Corps is a LITTLE more lax about it, not much though. The days of "Full Metal Jacket" have been gone for a long time. You might be able to get by with it provided none of the trainees never blab. The regs and UCMJ are pretty clear about that. The only time I can reacll I punched somebody in the chest while I was "on the trail" (DI status) was performing CPR on a trainee that "died" (I think) while doing morning PT.

I am more asking how do you tone a recruit like that down and still make him an effective soldier? More the psychology of it I suppose. Do you have the leeway or the methodology to put across the idea "Calm down, access your situation and come to terms with it."

Oops, rereading your response i see you answered my question already. Thanks for your input.

The officer was in the right, the kid should learn to respect his elders and not be so cocky.
