sad thing about it is with how much attn the video has gotten...he'll probably end up making some cash out of the deal. i'd certainly buy a "it's about the get nuclear in here" t-shirt.

Hey i know this is old news, but I just got the video text messaged to me by a friend the other day. I googled it just to look for news articles because I do know this kid. This thread came up on my google search. Craig, who actually got promoted to Sergeant this past weekend (sad, i know.), was deployed with me this past year. ($1.00 to whoever said it sounded like a reservist, he is)He does not suffer from any PTSD. He is a medical soldier who just spent his FIRST deployment in the Balkan mountains(Kosovo). He is one of those "all talk" type guys that says he'd have gone infantry but couldn't for whatever reason. He's a good guy and I liked him over-all, but he's definitely immature (and not too bright either). Obviously, he doesn't make the greatest decisions. I can't say that I am surprised to have come across this video of him. He is an operating room technician so most of the action he saw in Kosovo was rolled ankles and various fractures of that type. We had one gunshot wound the entire year and it was a Czech soldier who was screwing around with his buddy that accidentally shot himself. Just a little inside story about the kid. Feel free to laugh and make fun of him -- he deserves it. He is not an emotionally distraught war torn veteran, just a kid who drank too much liquor and lost his mind a bit.
