Mercury Military Station -- Unappreciated orders caused the death of a soldier
here today. The offender is Private First Class Arthur Pentillion,
who allegedly slew his commanding officer, Second Lieutenant Jayms Arbee,
when he received an order he didn't like. Witnesses to the scene have
told us that Lt. Arbee was berating PFC Pentillion for insubordination and
refusal to follow orders when the latter drew a combat knife and attacked.
"It surprised us when it happened -- the Lieutenant was dead before
he could react -- but we should have expected it," state the private's fellow
soldiers. "He had a short temper. No one really liked him."
PFC Pentillion is due to face court martial tomorrow.
