Bobo and Marine_7002 send us the link to the news<\/a> that Colonel Paul D. Cucinotta the Recruit Training Regiment commander at Parris Island, SC was fired by his commander, Major General James W. Lukeman, commanding general of Training and Education Command at Quantico, Virginia. Lukeman says that he “lost confidence” in Cucinotta’s ability to command Marine Corps boot camp because of the death of Raheel Siddiqui, 20, a Pakistani-American Marine recruit.<\/p>\n

Siddiqui arrived at the depot March 7, and fell 40 feet to his death after running out of a squad bay and jumping over a stairwell railing, family members have said. He had just been revived after fainting during a military drill. A lawyer representing the Siddiqui family, Nabih Ayad, told the Detroit Free Press that an instructor \u201csmacked\u201d Siddiqui to revive him. He had threatened to commit suicide early in recruit training, but was returned to training after committing to becoming a Marine, family members said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The article says that the investigation is continuing, but I guess the Congressmen involved in the case needed a victim sooner rather than later and Cucinotta was available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
