salty,

mind if i take a shot in the dark and say that u r/were navy? not to offend obviously, just curious. i know of the type of ppl you were talking about. matter of fact i just managed to get rid of one and the army as a whole is trying to get rid of them (toxic leadership). A lot of the newer E4/O1< are from the new generation think they are just entitled to everything. not many want to work and theres the prob that we have (yes i am part of the generation but i was raised in the old military)

and i am very inclined to agree with you that there will be rise in these instances. everything from what i said ^ to returning deployments could very well cause these things to happen more frequently. i just hope they dont happen

I say trustworthy because us NCO's are generally (bout 60-70% initially) trustworthy people and that number tends to go up as you go up in rank. Not to mention disciplinary action at those ranks can be anything from traffic tickets, to false allegations (seen it happen, happy that it was found to be false. and yes it happens a lot and ruins ppls careers) and all the way up to murder. This includes things that are sometimes outside of our control. Heck, one of my senior NCOs almost got in serious trouble due to a private being extremely stupid (the private wasn't even part of our unit). We have a saying "perception is reality" and the higher ranking you are the more truthful it gets

Quick rundown from everything I have read and the command has said:

SFC goes over to 1SG's house, knocks on door
husband opens door, gets shot in the face
SFC goes upstairs and shoots 1SG several times (killing her)
upon leaving SFC is fired upon by injured husband who shoots SFC in the leg
1SG's son gets out of house calls 911
SFC goes home intent on family homicide/suicide
wife argues with him and shoots him once in the chest
all due to disciplinary action against SFC

goes to show you that even the most trustworthy people can do stupid/crazy things. my heart goes out to both families for this stupid waste of life.
