Demoted? Should be kicked out entirely. Threatening to kill an officer is next level stupid. What a waste of taxpayers' money training this bloke.
waste of training all right. Could have sent that money to health or education.
bit harsh on the kid, maybe the captain deserved it? we don't know the full story
doesn't matter if the captain was a jerk, you don't threaten to kill him. simple as that
Stupid drunk decision. He'll regret this for the rest of his life. Hope he gets help.
ffs another soldier acting the goat. Embarrassing for the NZDF

Wait, he lost name suppression? Interesting that they released it. Usually that's protected in these cases?
point. Usually name suppression is almost automatic unless they plead guilty or something. Must be a different rule for court martial.
Just another day in the army. Lots of booze and testosterone. This happens more than people realize.
Exactly. The brass drink just as much as the grunts. Usually it's swept under the rug but this went too far.
Name and shame him I say. If you can't handle discipline, don't join the military.
Yeah nah get stuffed, you don't know what goes on behind closed doors in those camps
lol cope. He's not a kid, he's an adult soldier who made his choices. Own it.
