Say It Ain’t So, More Taxi Cab Shennanigans

Like I said before, it only takes one idiot in a taxi cab to ruin all the good things soldiers in 2ID do:

The 2nd Infantry Division has apologized for an incident involving two of its soldiers and a Dongducheon taxi driver.

Dongducheon police said Thursday that two soldiers are accused of assaulting the driver for refusing to give a them a ride in Dongduchon on the morning of Nov. 25.

In a statement, the division expressed regret about the incident. The soldiers also regret their actions and their chain of command will act as an intermediary to resolve matters of compensation in a timely manner,according to the statement. This incident does not reflect the values of the U.S. Army nor does it reflect the otherwise good conduct of our soldiers. We hold soldiers accountable for their actions and expect them to make responsible choices both on and off duty.

These guys are idiots and will be dealt with, but I just have to keep asking, why is this news? Should we start publishing the details about every soldier that gets caught urinating on the side of a building too? How much longer before taxi cabs in Dongducheon and Uijongbu are put off limits at night? That would end the problem by only using AAFES taxis at night to transport soldiers but that makes to much sense.
