I think J and NB were talking about this last week. Looks like there's more to the story...

Investigations into alleged hazing and maltreatment of recruits have found evidence of a toxic command climate at the Marines' training center at Parris Island, S.C., going back more than two years, according to Marine documents reviewed Wednesday by NBC News.

Detailed results of the investigations — one of them reviewing the alleged suicide of a new recruit in March — have been forwarded to prosecutors for "drafting of charges as warranted," according to one of the documents.

The Marine Corps said last week that the inquiries focus on three platoons of the Third Recruit Training Battalion. It said 20 training personnel had been "identified for possible military justice or administrative action," confirming a report by NBC News that the personnel — a mix of drill instructors and officers — were directly involved in hazing or had ignored evidence that it was going on.

• A drill instructor ordered a recruit to get inside a clothes dryer and yelled questions at him, including demands to reveal his religion and whether he was a terrorist. When the instructor found the recruit's answers unsatisfactory, he turned the dryer on to burn the recruit. According to the documents, a Marine official described the incident as clear verbal abuse.

The same recruit was forced to crawl between the beds in a barracks, pretend he was exploding and yell, "Allahu Akhbar," which is Arabic for "God is great."

Recruits were denied food and hygiene.

A recruit who passed out was denied medical attention.

A drill instructor forced a recruit to do his college homework and exams for American Public University, a for-profit online institution based in Charles Town, W.Va., with a large military enrollment.

A recruit from Britain was called a terrorist and offered $2,000 to run around the parade deck naked while being videotaped.

Wow! It also says he was assaulted by someone the day before he committed suicide but they gave no further details. Wondering was it sexual in nature.

Good lord look at what Islamophobia did to this guy.

I'm going to get on FB and write something when I get home tonight. There are a lot of comments that are disturbing to say the least.
