Two days ago a Fort Bragg sergeant driving a Nissan Pathfinder plowed 
into a Honda, which then struck a motorcycle.
Toll: three dead.  You can't escape the consequences of mass x velocity 
when a driver is not paying attention, as was the case here.  And of 
course, the sergeant survived to face court martial, although being 
detailed to permanent IED clearing duty would be more appropriate.

(Please spare me and the list sympathetic support for the soldier.  He 
is a jackass; a uniform doesn't change that.   I'm retired  Army, so  if 
it takes one to know one, then I am certainly qualified.)
