Did they take it out of his pay?

Did they take it out of his pay?

No they shot him for damaging army material.

That'll learn 'em!

No they shot him for damaging army material.

Hopefully not with his own .45 - somebody might have gotten hurt!

Fined him for repayment & then shot him.

Fined him for repayment & then shot him.

Then cut his last payment for 6 bullits, a cross a men that can dig 6 ft, and then 30.000 dollar in admin stuff.
The poor soul is forever in debt.

Forever.
