This is similar to the POW/MIA incident except this soldier posted on Instagram the following caption. Groups on FB are furious, as they should be. I found out via the GORUCK military Vet community. With all the chapters here of late, I hope she gets kicked out. image.jpg
 
I'm looking for a legitimate source. My friend got it from the Grunts 11Bravo page on FB.

This is a screen shot of what they posted. Apologies for no direct link as I'm on my cell.image.jpg
 
From what I've gathered while undertaking the tedious task of perusing all of the comments, she's deleted that profile on Instagram. Also, supposedly, it's already made it back to her chain of command. What with the nearly instantaneous nature of the internet, that really doesn't surprise me in the least.

She's going to be in a world of shit, if for no other reason than her CO/1SG's phones are getting blown up over this and wasting their precious time. If my hunch is right, they are going to give more of a damn about that than they would ensuring proper decorum was followed on funeral details, which includes an understanding that such internet commentary is highly prejudicial to good order and discipline.
 
Yup. If I really wanted to play devil's advocate, one could've come up with the lame defense of not being able to fold a flag with frozen hands, and that she was lamenting that. The group photo, however, shoots that one all to hell for the poor soul at TDS who's going to be having a long heart-to-heart with her just before she gets that NJP.
 
I see at least one NG patch in that crew, kind of hard to make out the others. One kind of looks like the schoolhouse patch from Gordon, but it is hard to say.

I'm speechless at the lack of humanity in those photos and comments. "No one is more professional than I" indeed....

Do you really want me to launch into my Litany of the Damned? Because that wouldn't scratch the surface describing the absolute level of self-absorbed, disrespectful, spoiled rotten fuckery that this stupid glob of rectal seepage seems to be in possession of.

You go girl.
I just dont get it. Sure Im a civilian, I have never worn the uniform or served although many in my family have. Being the parent of an infantry Marine is a entirely new ball park for me. Being there for those in my Marine Moms group, whose sons are severely wounded as well as the Mothers of those KIA...I dont even have the words. I hurt for the Moms that may have to see these photos. They rock me, and I cannot imagine how my friends would feel seeing this. Those people taking these and posting these pictures need to be kicked out of the service.

One patch is 42nd ID, a few of them are from Wisconsin, all NG I'm assuming.

The instructor took the picture of the coffin, he said there is no body in the coffin, they were practicing.
If you go the the grunts 11bravo facebook page you can see all of the soldier's info.
The female in question is apparently in the 1-147 AVN E Co, out of madison WI.

I don't give a fuck what was in the coffin, that flag draped coffin is a very powerful symbol for many of us. It is not a prop in a squad photo.
