6. This has been reported to his command. Hopefully he will get more than a blot on his record.

I am guessing from his age and current placement as a Drill Instructor, he may have been planning on making the military his career. He could, potentially, lose a stripe, or two, with a cut in pay. Given the current focus on White 'Supremacy' in the military, right now, it would be satisfying if they turn him into an example of what happens when you do something as despicable as assault/battery a civilian who is doing nothing more than taking a stroll.

This whole thing just flashes me back to what I witnessed during my time in the military. It was not good.
