If it were my brother, I'd ask for a little more of the story. Seems like he might be holding a bit back, in the interest of brevity? Grabbing someone by the throat for a failed inspection is pretty "over the top". Personally, I would understand a good throat grabbing for the leaving the weapon offense. That's just me, though, I hate weapons related negligence.
If that's all there is to the story, sounds like it's time for a new unit. A PFC ( I can only speak for the 80s Army) wouldn't stand very long with a complaint, especially if those there in rank apparently supported the throat grabbing. We've all seen our share of slackers, and I've even been witness to a few wall to wall counseling sessions. It normally takes quite a violation for the chain of command to do something like this. Perhaps these days, the way would be to file the complaint, but all I can speak for is the advice I would give my own brother. That would be, time to put in for a transfer. (I might also tell him to stop doing things to draw attention to himself, like leaving base when told not to, and keep better track of his weapon...) Good luck!
