In Norfolk Virginia, USN Seal Adam Matthews, has pleaded guilty to hazing and assault charges resulting in the death of US Green Beret, Staff Sgt. Logan Meggar, from Texas. The incident took place in Africa.

Murder charges were dropped against Matthews since he was prepared to testify against another USN Seal and two US Marines.

Hazing can be exceedingly unpleasant. Our Paras and Marines were renowned for it. Now it is fortunately banned and woe betide anyone caught undertaking this stupid practice.

It's always the fault of the staff, too busy sipping Pina Calado's in the Mess, instead of looking after the well being of their men

Oops, what is hazing? Sorry, I’m not familiar with the term, not trying to be funny.

Bullying...
Adds: a perversion, extra vertie, expansive,sadistic, donkeys charecter developed usually in their child hood ....the age of reason is usually by the age of 7. If you cant understand what is good or bad by then, you probably never will
The parents are usually the ones to blame but not always
Psycotic psychopath's
You can spot them a mile off. .
Loud, bragging, myto's and worship their and only their own existance...

OK, I got a lot of that when I went to school in Oslo as a seven year old with a country dialect. So what’s that got to do with the military?

That’s odd, we didn’t seem to have any of that when I was in the legion. Maybe because we were at war and bullying belongs with bored peacetime soldiers, like in the school ground?
