Army Sergeant John Skipper of the 1st Battalion, 91st Cavalry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, stands charged with destruction of government property and making a false official statement for the incident, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2017\/07\/05\/army-soldier-charged-after-humvees-destroyed.html\">Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The charges against Skipper imply that a malfunction of military equipment was not the reason the Humvees slipped from their rigging, according to Military.com.<\/p>\n<p>A Humvee can cost up to $220,000, according to the site. The maximum punishment for the destruction of government property is \u201c10 years in prison, dishonorable discharge and forfeiture of all pay and allowances.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t figure that Sergeant Skipper will get off light on this one&#8230;the Army can&#8217;t be happy about the viral video.
