For a CSM and a solder,
talk of peniis size became bolder.

and grasped private meat.
For he was both toucher and Holder.

Only 500,000 won for a DUI conviction?! This guy should be counting his lucky stars – he got off cheap and it won't follow him back to civilian life in the States.

Hey Air Force, where are your comments about how Airmen are never in the news?

Not to defend the Air Force, but I want to take another opportunity to point out something non-military readers might not be aware of.
Court-Martials are only a part of the picture of military bad behavior. Other than the DUI for the SSgt. in the 303 IS, you may notice the other two Air Force bad boys got summary court-martialed. When a person gets a summary court-martial, it is usually a close toss-up decision from Administrative punishment; an Article 15.
The vast percentage of military punishments are administrative, which you don't see here. So those two Airmen just got in under the wire for showing up on this list.
