Army says eight American soldiers have been charged in connection with the Oct. 3 death of a fellow soldier in southern Afghanistan. In a statement, the military said the eight soldiers from Chen’s company faced charges ranging from dereliction of duty, assault, negligent homicide and involuntary manslaughter. Chen was found in a guard tower in Kandahar province with what the Army described at the time as "an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound." He was assigned to the 3rd Battalion,

The soldiers face charges ranging from dereliction of duty to involuntary manslaughter in the death of 19 year old Army Pvt. Daniel Chen of New York City. Chen’s relatives say he endured weeks of racial teasing and name calling while in training, then was subjected to hazing after he was deployed to Afghanistan.
A Pentagon spokesman, Navy Capt. John Kirby, said Wednesday the military was taking a zero tolerance attitude toward soldiers who mistreat their comrades.
"That’s what this uniform requires. And when we don’t, there’s a justice system in place to deal with it," Kirby said. "Hazing’s not tolerated in the military. If it’s found and it’s proven, it’s dealt with."
The eight soldiers are part of an infantry regiment based in Fort Wainright,

The soldiers are still in Afghanistan but have been relieved of their duties and confined to a different base, the military said. The next step is a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence for a court martial. The proceedings are expected to be held in Afghanistan.
The two most serious charges, involuntary manslaughter and negligent homicide, carry prison sentences of up to 10 years and three years, respectively, under military law.
At a news conference in New York’s Chinatown, Elizabeth OuYang, a community activist who is representing his parents, said Chen had complained about the teasing in Facebook and email messages,

Fellow soldiers at a base in Georgia teased him about his Chinese name, crying out "Chen!" in an exaggerated Asian accent, OuYang said. They called him "Jackie Chen," a reference to the Hollywood action star Jackie Chan. People would ask him repeatedly if he was Chinese,

"Whether suicide or homicide, those responsible for mistreating Danny are responsible for his death," OuYang said.

Eugene Fidell,
Store Online Mens Nike Air Yeezy 2 For Sale For Cheap But Real Mens, an expert on military law and former president of the National Institute of Military Justice, said bullying has been a recurring problem for the military.
"If there was brutality within the unit,

In 2010, three Army sergeants were punished after Pvt. Keiffer Wilhelm of Willard, Ohio,

Two sergeants were imprisoned for six months and three months, respectively, on charges of cruelty and maltreatment. The third was convicted of obstructing justice and given a one grade reduction in pay.
Activists said Chen’s case has raised questions about the military’s treatment of its tiny Asian American minority.
"We love our country and we want to serve our country, but it’s not worth it if we can’t be protected from people who are supposed to be on our side," OuYang said.
In 2008 people of Asian descent made up only 1.8 percent of new military recruits, even though they represent 4.15 percent of the total population of American 18 to 24 year olds, a Pentagon report said. The percentages of whites, blacks and Hispanics reflected the wider population more closely.
On Wednesday Chen’s relatives said they were encouraged by the Pentagon’s action against the eight soldiers.
"We realize that Danny will never return, but it gives us some hope," Yen Tao Chen, his father, said through a translator.
Chen was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, based in Fort Wainwright, Alaska.
The Army identified the soldiers charged as 1st Lt. Daniel J. Schwartz, 25,
