I am told by folks who seem to know what went on at Camp LeJeune that it was a beheading. It could be a rumor. I don't know. If he served in Iraq or Afghanistan the possibility of him being that violent is understandable. If that is true, THAT is more violence than I thought anyone could conceive of.
