How would you get rid of your friend's hiccups?

...Would you have them drink water upside down? Would you tell them to hold their breath for as long as they can?, that usually works...How about having them do jumping jacks? Or maybe try to scare them by pretending to shoot them in the face? Whoa, sounds a little absurd or extreme? Well, if we could ask Private first class Isaac Lawrence Young, we would...

Carroll Smith from the Texas police department stated, "Pfc Myers did try to scare his fellow comrade with a gun, pointed in his face, pulled the trigger to scare him, eventually to get rid of hiccups." The very tragedy of this action is that the gun was loaded and he killed his comrade. Yes, that is correct; Myers killed his fellow comrade. Pfc Myers is being charged with manslaughter for his deathly action.

Pfc Myers, Pfc Young and a third soldier were hanging out, drinking alcohol and watching Sunday night football, reported by CNN. This is when Myers tried to scare the hiccups out of Pfc Young. If Myers was trying to cure his comrade's hiccups, he did and in doing so a young soldier is dead.

Anyone who has been following my blog will remember my report on, "Don't Be That Guy." Well, if you have not, it states, "when everything is going well there is bound to be one soldier that makes an idiotic mistake." This is where "Don't Be That Guy" comes from. You do not want to be that guy who makes a serious mistake. We know that Pfc Myers is "that guy."

Pfc Young has only been in the Army for 16 months and at Fort Hood, TX since October 2011, stated by the Army. He was 22 years old, from Missouri, and a motor transport operator. Young's name said it all. He was too young to die and this tragedy never should have happened. I have said it before; we already lose too many soldiers overseas fighting terrorist than to lose them in the states to stupid actions.

I wish that before the few soldiers, who make stupid mistakes, would read a couple of my blogs thus save some costly mistakes and soldier's lives.
