LITTLE FALLS, Minn. — A three-year-old boy who did not wait for his soldier mother to be dismissed from a pointless formation after serving nine months in Afghanistan has received a non punitive letter of caution for breaking ranks, Duffel Blog has learned.

"It's the most egregious violation of military customs and traditions I've ever seen in all my years of service," said National Guard Command Sgt. Maj. Milton Stiff. "This young lad's decided lack of discipline is appalling and if his parents won't deal with him then the U.S. Army will."
