CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — Marine Cpl. Tony Bergman has no friends, even while he is not on duty, Duffel Blog has learned.
The 24-year-old infantry mortarman has been spotted alone in the barracks every weekend for three consecutive years, according to sources. Several of his peers claim they even avoid speaking to Bergman after Wednesday afternoon "just in case he tries to make plans for the weekend."
Bergman's leadership has tried to ignore the issue, hoping it would resolve itself.
