At one point, he told Bourmeche to enter an industrial-sized clothes dryer and turned the machine on, asking the recruit "Are you still Muslim?" After Bourmeche reaffirmed his faith, he was forced to enter the machine again, after which he once again confirmed he was a Muslim. He was then sent for another tumble inside the machine that is designed to emit intense heat. After a third spin, Bourmeche said, he feared for his life and renounced his religion. Rekan Hawez, a native of Iraqi Kurdistan, was also ordered to climb into the dryer, although the machine was never turned on.

Weird thing in this

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2017/11/09/military-jury-convicts-marine-drill-instructor-who-targeted-muslims/


A military jury sentenced a former Marine drill instructor to 10 years in prison and a dishonorable discharge from the service

Felix also will have his rank reduced to private.



I thought a dishonorable discharge meant you're out, period? What is this rank reducing business?


It's standard operating procedure. Typically officers who are found guilty of misconduct and forced to resign are demoted to the last paygrade in which they honorably served, and enlisted are busted down to the lowest possible paygrade.

edit: I should clarify that officers and enlisted can also be reduced in rank by one or two paygrades as a form of non-judicial punishment, but for an officer that typically means the end of their career anyway, and for enlisted, it could also be the end of the career (depending on what their paygrade winds up being and what the high-year tenure limit is for that paygrade). It's not just a punishment that happens when someone is being kicked out.

But people like @HypnoCoosh said this doesnt happen in the military


It's definitely not supposed to, which is why people are being punished for it.

Bad things happen in a lot of organizations. It's the response of the organization that, in my opinion, should define the character of that organization, not the actions of a very small group of individuals within that organization.

Yeah :\ when it comes to non-judicial punishment, commanding officers have quite a bit of leeway typically. This is obviously beyond that but... yeah. Up until recently, Navy COs onboard ships could even restrict punished Sailors to a bread and water diet as punishment, but I think Congress is trying to get rid of that practice. I also don't know how often it was even used.

Just to further clarify his punishment. He's going to get his rank reduced to private, then have to serve 10 years in a military prison, after which he will be dishonorably discharged.

1. I don't know why you'd even find it relevant to compare an incident from 1968 to something that happened in the last decade.
2. Even if that WERE somehow relevant, we're talking about a blue-on-blue incident in which people who were entrusted with the training of recruits who volunteered their lives completely abused that trust and drove at least one of those recruits to suicide.

They are two vastly different incidents from two entirely different time periods.

Also, I still don't get why he's busted down to any paygrade at all, seems like a silly application of "standard" procedure to me. Yeah his career's basically over but in cases like this, you throw these people out, period. He has no business even being a private. Whole thing's so far beyond his status as a part of the military now.


As Rhomber pointed out, he won't be discharged until after he serves his prison sentence. Since he will still technically be a part of the military, he still technically requires a rank, so they give him a low rank. Of course he violated civilian laws, but he also violated military laws and that is what he was charged under.
