Exam time

The Associated Press's Steven K. Paulson writes here about two recent incidents that are pretty strange. One involves a Fort Carson soldier who hid in a car so as not to have to get out and salute during evening colors.

In an unrelated incident:

Last week, two Wisconsin National Guard members were suspended in an investigation stemming from a photograph showing soldiers clowning around by an empty flag-draped casket at a guard training facility.

The photograph shows soldiers mugging for the camera around the empty casket. It shows 14 men and women posing, some lightheartedly. Two pairs of men hug playfully, another man has his back turned and is pointing off in the distance, and a kneeling woman flashes a peace sign.

The caption reads, "We put the FUN in funeral — your fearless honor guard from various states."

Good fodder for military justice exam questions?
