In tonight's segment of "goddamn, that's evil":
COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) - Four soldiers at Fort Benning have been arrested and accused of stabbing to death a member of their infantry unit, setting the body on fire and leaving it in the woods just days after their return from Iraq.
Police said the soldiers had gotten mad at Spc. Richard R. Davis for insulting a dancer at a strip club and getting them kicked out of the place.
Davis, 24, of St. Charles, Mo., was stabbed repeatedly in July. His skeletal remains were found Friday, nearly four months after he was reported missing. Fort Benning investigators had received a tip to search the woods near the Army post.
St. Charles, Missouri! I live four miles from there! Isn't that cool? Oh wait, it's not.
Lit the body on fire....wow. Here's an idea, one which I'll give props to Arianna for mentioning first....more psychologists for soldiers returning from combat. Maybe this couldn't have been prevented, but it makes you wonder.
U.S. Soldier killed by other U.S. soldiers...just what we need!
