An Army story

[ThaSaltCracka]

well [censored] 's gang most certainly caused it, but so what, dude was a pedophile and a pervert. All he was likely to do was ruin dozens of peoples lives later on.

being a pedophile and pervert makes his life worth no less than any other person...he cant help that those are the things that turn him on - its a chemical reaction inside his mind thats miscrossed, along with a combo of many other things - u cannot condone someone for that! IF they physically act on it (hurting/harming/effecting others) then yes it then becomes a problem - but u cannot say someone is "worth" less b/c of things they cannot control.

Peoples mental weaknesses are unfortunate and all of us have them in some form or another - its how we handle them that makes them different - he wasnt mentally stable in the 1st place and like i said before any number of occurences could have lead to this result and i assure u what they did to him ALONE did not push this man to this point - noone is to blame for his choice

But I can't believe that you are not haunted by the fact that your actions caused someone to take their own life..

He did not cause that guy to kill himself. Nobody caused that but the guy. It's sad and I am sure the dude needed some serious psychiatric care, but [censored] didnt cause it. A normal healthy person would not kill themselves just because a masturbation tape got distributed.

Dude, it wasn't just the masterbation tape. that tape was with others that linked him to child porn and videotaping/raping some woman. He obviously thought something was going to happen to him (arrested, exposed) and made the pre-emptive strike....against himself. However, i don't see me feeling bad for a long period of time.

The biggest dick move got me thinking and I hadn't remembered this for a long time. I don't really think it classifies as a dick move although probably not the best decisions were made.

Sorry I should have added this to my original post.....

But I can't believe that you are not haunted by the fact that your actions caused someone to take their own life..

He was jerking off in your room - BIG DEAL.....You are with your mate....and you think he's wierd anyway....So u expose his fragility by exposing him to all of his peers in a foreign country....

U should be ashamed....and if this was me - I would have never told anyone of this story ever....

CALM DOWN. Put yourself in that position. Would you kill yourself? I know I wouldn't. Sure I'd be embarrassed, but it wouldn't bother me enough to kill myself.

by far the biggest dick move on this forum. nothing is even close to this, as no one has inadvertantly (sp?) killed someone. I have to ask....do you feel bad? He was obviously [censored] up, and I can only see myself feeling bad for maybe....half a year?


edited to say of course you felt bad, i guess i was asking if you still feel as bad now as you did then.

When we found out I and probably we were more worried about the coming [censored] storm and how bad we were [censored]. thanks to our friend David who was like blarq in that he knew everything we ended up not getting in trouble at all.

I feel bad yes but being in the Army at the time I don't its hard to explain but I never had time to dwell on it for the next 3 years.

for some reason i think ive seen a pic of you and you didnt strike me as the military type at all. also, i can see where being in the military would probably desensitize you to the fact taht this guy killed himself.

the truth is I wasn't the military type at all. I did fine, never got in much trouble and moved up nicely (mostly because there are alot of people who can't really follow directions) but it wasn't a good fit. I got depressed a lot not from that but because it's not a thinking man's profession at least at the lower enlisted level. strange times. I met a few really cool guys though which made it better.
