SAVANNAH, Ga. AP – A Jewish Army trainee who was beaten days after commanders investigated his complaints of religious harassment at Fort Benning has been moved to a different training unit at the Georgia Army post.
Pvt. Michael Handman’s transfer to a new battalion of about 900 soldiers in basic training has separated him from the fellow trainee suspected of attacking him, who has not been charged, and two drill sergeants who have been reprimanded for religious discrimination, Fort Benning spokeswoman Monica Manganaro said Tuesday.
