Default Re: military beastings

It's always been part of military life. Was when I was in. I think everyone should look at all the facts.

Tests subsequently showed he had ecstasy in his body when he died.
Anyone know what effects that stuff has to the body? Anybody know what the body does when it's worked hard with that stuff?

Top level sportsmen who are remarkably fit have been known to drop down dead on the spot with a heart attack.

I'm not choosing one side or the other, but physical fitness is a key requirement of being a soldier. Then there is the consideration of if he should have ever been in the army in the first place. A soldier out on tour of duty in an operational environment taking drugs? Hmmmm.

I have the deepest sympathy for his family but not entirely sure I have the same amount for him. It is sad that this has happened, but the question has to be asked, did the drugs kill him or the beasting he received?
