Raised every single red flag, parents, police, and Army did nothing about it. Damn. That was a grain of salt.
That’s a serious grain salt.
One of these things is not like the other…
“It’s not that we didn’t think it could happen. We just didn’t want to get mixed up in it,” say police.
Numerous, bullet-sized grains of salt.
They weren’t just taking it “with a grain of salt”, they were taking the whole situation with about 5 or 6 pounds of salt!
That isn’t to say that this isn’t uncommon in the military; but it shows that both the Captain and Sergent could have, and probably should have, done more. It may, however, take an indeterminate amount of time for the Army to admit that. Likely because it takes a long time for them to investigate things thoroughly.
