Boy, Put That Noggin To Use!

Now see, this dude just wasn't thinking.

"A Fort Stewart soldier was arrested after he had his cousin shoot him so he wouldn't have to return to Iraq, police said Thursday.

Army Spc. Marquise J. Roberts, of Hinesville, Ga., suffered a minor wound to his left leg from a .22 caliber pistol on Tuesday, police said. He was treated at a hospital, then arrested after he and his cousin allegedly confessed to having made up a story about the shooting.

'They just broke down and confessed that they concocted the whole story so he didn't have to go back to the war,' said Lt. James Clark of Northwest Detectives.

Police charged Roberts with filing a false report and charged his cousin, Ronald Fuller, with aggravated and simple assault and other charges. "

All he had to do was report for duty like this and he would have been discharged immediately.
