Three soldiers stationed at Camp Frank D. Merrill in Georgia have been arrested for tossing artillery simulators at a crowd of people in a Dahlonega, GA parking lot according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution<\/a>;<\/p>\n

“A large group was standing around talking, and a Cadillac with three occupants pulled up, threw two devices and fled,” Wooten said.<\/p>\n

He said the Cadillac fled up Georgia 400 and deputies who were in the area and heard the explosions “were able to see them on 400 as they attempted to turn off their lights and elude us.”<\/p>\n

The Cadillac pulled onto a side road off Ga. 400 and the three suspects were taken into custody. Deputies later found a dozen undetonated devices that had been thrown from the Cadillac before it stopped, Wooten said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The three suspects are assigned to the 5th Ranger Training Battalion<\/a>, but they’re not Rangers, at least not in the military sense. Nicholas Gregory Wendt is a Specialist in the Signal Corps, SGT Thomas Dale Campbell and SSG Jeremy Wade Morgan are both in the AG Corps. The AJC article merely says they’re in the 5th RTB, but doesn’t mention their MOSs, I thought I’d clear that up. <\/p>\n

No one was injured in the brief assault, but hardly anyone ever is. Artillery simulators whistle like an incoming artillery round before the paper and gunpowder device explodes and flashes. The only possible injury is if an inexperienced victim slips and falls in their own excrement after detonation – or holds one as it detonates.<\/p>\n

But these three pogues need to be punished for acting like assholes regardless. Especially the NCOs who should have known better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
