.TACOMA, Wash. -- U.S. military officials on Friday finally named the suspect in the massacre of 16 Afghan civilians as Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, according to multiple news reports, and Bales was being brought to a military detention center in the United States to face murder charges. Pentagon officials had previously offered only a few details of the suspects life: a 38-year-old married father of two, a 10-year Army veteran who served three tours in Iraq, who deployed to Afghanistan in December with the Armys 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state.
. snip .In the complex portrait that emerged from public records and Internet postings Friday following the release of his name, Bales was angry about being passed over for a military promotion, and as a civilian had brushes with the law and spent time in anger management. He pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge in 2002 and was cited for a misdemeanor hit-and-run incident in 2008, for which he paid a $250 fine and received a deferred 12-month sentence.
.He also was portrayed, on his wife Karilyns blog, as a caring father who was on military duty when his first child, a daughter, was born in December 2006. He was apparently eager to know the babys gender before birth, and teased his wife about withholding phone calls from abroad unless she told him.
.Bob on the other hand cannot stand to wait for anything, Karilyn wrote on her blog in May 2006. Patience is not one of his virtues, especially when it comes to surprises. He simply cannot wait for the surprise to come. In March 2011, Bales wrote that her husband Bob didnt get a promotion to E7, which in the Army is the rank of sergeant 1st class. It is very disappointed (sic) after all of the work Bob has done and all the sacrifices he has made for his love of his country, family and friends. I am sad and disappointed too, but I am also relieved, we can finally move on to the next phase of our lives.
