Mr. Gonzalez, If you ever see this.... I witnessed a personal assault against you by a Drill Sergeant after you collapsed from what appeared to be heat exhaustion while running PT.
I witnessed this Drill Sergeant grab you by your boot when you were lying semi-conscious on the asphalt and drag you down that paved, hot asphalt road with your head and face dragging along on the asphalt.
While this assault was being perpetrated, our unit was ordered to run circles around you while this animal was dragging you along on the asphalt of the road, head down.
This helpless recruit was moaning in agony and I remember him sobbing.
All the while, the Drill Sergeant was screaming at you and threatening more bodily harm.
We were forced to run round and around circling you, watching this abuse, powerless to stop it.
I was horrified by what I saw.
I didn't know you personally but I made a point to get your last name off your uniform during the incident in case I could possibly be a witness if ever there became a way to hold this Drill Sergeant accountable..
What happened was brutal and wrong.
If there is a God in heaven, I hope this man reads this blog.
I am willing to provide a buddy letter in your behalf if you are suffering mental health problems from the egregious act..
