I heard that it was in the early ‘80’s….

You are right! I did two tours in Germany, sometimes I get them confused. But I did find this article:
An American soldier has been charged with two counts… - UPI Archives
I also remember hearing about this one in the 90s:
Army Sergeant Who Decapitated Wife’s Lover Found Guilty - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)

Crazy stuff in my opinion.
I wonder what the frequency of that sort of event is, once every few years or more often?
You can notice the two tractors ready for action

What is the six wheeled vehicle?
