Military instructor out after comment

From Times Wire Reports
The German Defense Ministry said it has dismissed an instructor who told a soldier to imagine hostile blacks in New York’s Bronx while firing a machine gun.
The instructor was let go under a provision that permits the immediate dismissal of personnel who violate service obligations, or whose continued service would harm the order or reputation of the military.
The incident, captured in a video posted on the Internet, led the Bronx borough president to call for discipline against those responsible.
