Another one bites the dust:
Five minutes after taking a punch in the ear, Pvt. Christopher Phillips held up a lock knife and threatened his roommate.
“If you’re going to cut me, cut me,” replied Pfc. Geoffrey Mondragon, according to court documents.
So Phillips did.
On Wednesday in the Camp Casey courtroom, Phillips pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and was sentenced to nine months in jail, reduction in rank to E-1 and a bad-conduct discharge. [Stars & Stripes]
Shockingly alcohol was involved in the altercation. On the plus side the stabber says he is still friends with the victim.

I still have a hard time understanding the sentences handed out. 9 months seems a bit long to me.

He did stab the guy in the neck and was lucky he didn’t kill him. I would think he was lucky to only get 9 months behind bars.
