$30M abuse case began at boot camp

Scott DiDonato was no stranger to the military when he arrived at Parris Island in October 1999.

wow, it looks like these military officers are in some pretty hot water, especialy that applegate guy. this kind of stuff has been going on for a long time and it looks as if the top command is finally paying the price. i think the marine corp should replace our leaders with people who take care of our soldiers, and not abuse them. this man didonato was an honorable soldier that seems as if that guy applegate screwed him. if i were didonato, i would sue all of the officers individually. maybe after this is over, the corps will put more caring leaders in higher positions that will take good care of our soldiers and veterans, and not abuse them. i believe didonato is 100% right based on the facts of the story. also i read that the congress and senate are backing him up.

my question is, if barack obama signed a bill to close down guantonimo bay prison because of this water bowling abuse practices that were used to get information from prisoners, then why isn't barock obama doing any thing about this abuse against our own soldiers? this man didonato was abused the same way that guantonimo bay prisoners were abused. our president should get involved and stretch his hand out to help all of our own soldiers and veterans first. mr. didonato got messed up and its those officers fault. something should be done about this so that our younger generation in the military doesn't have to go through the same thing didonato is going through. its ashame how we all preach about helping our soldiers but yet this man has to go through this. all i can say is good luck didonato, and god bless you.

they should demote those general to privates because they committed fraud against one of our own soldiers. it must be true because there faces are in the newspaper and it says they committed fraud and other criminal acts. they should not get away with this just because they have power. everyone is equal. didonato should win!!!!!!!!

hey just so you know water boarding is different from water boarding. look some stuff up real quick. im not saying it's right, but im saying it's different. and another thing, marines aren't soldiers, so quit calling them that.

water bowling is torture no matter how you look at it.
also marines are soldiers, that's what the di's called us

your a pathetic bunch. Snuffy; whinning about how unfair you think life is, grow a pair. Go sue your mother and father for parental malpractice, otherwise take responsibility for your own life instead of blaming others for your failure. Your a parasite leeching off the taxpayer.
