Tony DeDolph, a U.S. Navy SEAL, has been sentenced to ten years in prison for his role in the U.S. Army Green Beret’s hazing death. DeDolph received the sentences from a jury of fellow service members at a Navy base in Norfolk, VA. He pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and related counts.
DeDolph had placed Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar into a martial-arts-style chokehold to try make him temporarily lose consciousness. DeDolph’s actions were intended to be a prank. Melgar died of strangulation.

While the Olympics are a tradition that goes all of the way back to ancient Greece, the Winter Olympics are actually a whole lot newer than that. They were first dreamed up back in 1921 when the International Olympic Committee gave its patronage to a Winter Sports Week that was scheduled for 1924 in Chamonix, France.
The event turned out to be such an incredible success – attracting over 10,004 paying attendees – that it was retroactively named the First Olympic Winter Games.
