This case is very sad. This young Marine's life has truly ended. I don't know what was going on in his head to kill this lady boy but for now i will still give him the benefit of doubt, until all the evidence is brought out in court. When i was a young E-2 pulling liberty in subic way back in the 70's this did not happen first there was very little if any what we called billy boys back then not that i seen anyway. If you did happen to get that drunk that you would have brought a he/she to a hotel room you sure would have got ribbed by your shipmates for ever, but to kill the he/she is just plain stupid. Did he not realize that he is not in Kansas (USA) anymore. Prisons in the PI are not survivable especially for westerners and a US service man to boot. He is truly F@#K.
I have been retired for the past 3 years now and every year since been going to the PI on vacation Manila and Angeles City. This year i was going to spend time in Subic. Davis should i go to subic or just stay away ? I would not want to be jumped and beaten to death by a bunch of he/she's looking for revenge on Americans LOL. What is the atmosphere over there toward westerners and especially Americans. Thanks in advance.
