Yes, I think it's very unclear what actually happened at this point...

It wouldn't surprise me at all. There are a ton of really stupid people in the Army.

From the above:

Based on information developed during the investigation, Lt. Chris Lawler of the Lakewood police said it does not appear the stabbing was a hate crime. Everyone involved - the victim and suspects - are soldiers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, he said.

I don't know why it could not be a hate crime because everybody was active duty military.  There was severe racial problems in the '60's and seventies, resulting in a near mutiny on the Forrestal.  There are also signs that gangs have some presence amoung active duty.

But to a man (and woman) everybody I have met who served has been the absolute least racially biased people I have ever met

That's what I didn't understand either... because they're soldiers they're inept of doing a hate crime??  I don't see how one would have to do with the other.

there were plenty of blacks in the army when i was in that hated whites, we were all grunts most of us were in with a strong desire to fight for our country and then there were a few that were there because they had no other place to go, of course those types weeded themselves out pretty quickly. when it came time for a couple deployments a certain group would jump ship at the very word "GOING TO COMBAT" it was a mass exoudus of that group.... very rarely did they fall under the same category as a "HONORABLE SOLDIER" hopefully they are subject to military justice, i just hope it the same as it was as the late 80s and early 90s

They caught the guys.......... Three of them. They all said it wasn't a racially motivated crime.  Gangbangers........ Wouldn't think a bunch of ignorant gangbangers would want to piss off a bunch of Army Rangers......They may end up getting their whole getto turned into a sheet of glass.

There were also soldiers from JBLM.  All of them not gangbangers according to King 5 news.

So what the news is telling us is there are no gangbangers in the military. Right?!?!?! Here is a little tid bit for ya....there is just as many gangbangers on base as there is off base.

[Russ McDonald]

This is how some repay the service of our military men and women. I hope they're eventually killed.

I had two ship mates shot on our own soil right after Viet Nam. Peace loving hippy protesters my a$$. They have passed on the hatred to their children. And we wonder why our country is so hosed up today?

This kind of explains my bad attitude. Just a teeny tiny bit.

About ten years ago, we were on one of the carriers in Bremerton, rebuilding antenna sponsons for Raytheon.  Low and behold, forward on the hangar deck was a sign on a door saying Gang Counselor...........I asked if it was for real, and was told it was a full time job.

 That never would have flown when I was in back in the early 70s.  I couldnt believe all the baggy pants and cockeyed ball caps comin off the ship at the end of each day..........heads would have rolled in the 70s............made me sick.

I was an MP at Ft Lewis 87-90........Gangs on post, both Soldiers and Sons of Soldiers was a big problem.....if One needs to get out of da hood for a while, and get some good military training, joining is the thing to do. Lots of gang members in the military, believe it or not.

The worst problems the Navy had was in the early seventies.  Maybe your view of your younger halcyon days are tainted with a little Mayberry
