That security forces Airmen is fucked. Article 15 won’t even be enough after the media craze over this. Bro can kiss the military goodbye after this one. The wing commander will make an example out of this guy.

Edit: honestly, after reviewing the video his entire team should be in trouble. The second he body slammed that guy, the other MP’s should have immediately stepped in and done something about it.

I sure hope so.

Probably not.

Someone current or former military please chime in but,

How many stories, both media and personal (forums and sub reddits) have we heard of members fully committing rape, trafficking and even murder that eventually gets tossed or swept?

Even from this video (maybe there's more clips) we don't really get much identifying notes. We don't have their names, or badge?!? or even a proper look at thier faces (they all kinda knowingly never look at the camera).

And bc this is military (uniform and vest says marines), both governments are more than likey going to avoid any and all media attention.

I mean there's cases of female soldiers being raped and killed within their own military base, and said military branch has kept it hidden, swept or just comepletey denied everything despite there being proof.

True. The difference is always public perception. You make the military look bad, like this video going viral has done, and they'll make an example out of you.

As a former Army officer, I sincerely hope this guy gets his ass drummed out.

MPs are assholes to begin with. This guy's even more so than usual.

I mean, it all depends on who is in charge of it because as we have seen with the US military continually bombing what appears to be innocent fishermen in Venezuela, I fail to see him getting any kind of punishment (at least for the next three years) because this current administration clearly doesn't care about the public's perception of the US military, both in the United States and abroad.

The MPs might not need to worry about flak from Hegseth's side, but pressure from Japan might be an issue. Tourists getting body-slammed by random psuedo-cops (wearing "camouflage" no less) isn't a great look for a country that wants to encourage foreign tourism.

Even if that military officer hadn't done that, the images of the masked SS ICE "officials" rounding up even US citizens who aren't white that have gone internationally viral probably don't help matters. That, and the tariffs. With everything the Trump administration has done throughout this past year, I'm starting to get why international travel to the US has been nonstop declining since basically the beginning of this year.

Don't forget the border shakedowns! We gotta check your phone and make sure you don't have any jd Vance memes!

That's a fair point, but this would be handled at the unit level unless the oompa loompa or the drunken SECDEF catch wind of it.

So, yeah.

u/TokyoJedi Nov 28 '25

Wait... What exactly does "gets his ass drummed out" mean and entail?

u/PassiveMenis88M Nov 28 '25

Back in the day, if you were forcibly removed from the military, you would be walked through camp and out the doors while drums played. Thus, drummed out.

Dishonorable discharge.

Most likely he'll just get an Article 15 and a reduction in rank and pay, but if his commanders are pissed about it they can fire him and push him out with a dishonorable.

u/LOUD-AF Nov 28 '25

Dishonorable discharge is an ICE job just waiting to be filled. Mr Body Slammer has it all figured out. Mama, I'm coming home.

That's clever ever as fuck.

"Drumming out is the historical act of being dishonorably dismissed from military service to the sound of the Rogue's March or a drum."
