Cadet killed at West Point

One cadet killed, 20 others injured, along with two enlisted personnel who were driving the vehicle.  This time of year, it would be a bunch of new sophomores doing their summer military training at Camp Buckner/Camp Natural Bridge, which are near the Academy.  Single vehicle crash, looks like a deuce-and-a half truck.  Read that they were transporting to a land nav course.

I'm already reading comments about someone needing to be held responsible.  I've ridden in the back of a deuce-and-a-half, as some others here have as well.  You sit on a bench.  Canvas top, no belts.  Frankly, in a rollover crash, only one dead is lucky.  But jumping to the someone needs punished, knowing nothing else...   ;/

Be thou at peace, Cadet...
