I agree with the way the leadership handled this instead of trying to bury it. I believe it is time to also bring back drumming out in front of the troops after they are found guilty.

Once a Marine-Always a Marine! 1956-62. Never saw combat but learned much from my service. The Corps made men from what ever enlisted-I hope and pray they continue to do so. I have a feeling there will be extreme punishment for those that have dishonored the Marine Corps. Both by the Corps and by the rest of the Corps and the outside society. I have a young man, son of a friend, who was headed the wrong way, his father was actually afraid of him. His father asked me what I thought of him joining the Marines. I replied It would either kill or cure the young man. The young man became a Marine and since has proven what the Marine Corps can do. He has become an outstanding citizen and a productive member of society. Thanks to the Marine Corps=Semper Fi!

I have to commend the leadership of the 5th Marines to have these arrests made public knowledge. It could have been just as easy for them to keep this as quiet as possible and let it blow over.
As we all know, the bad things that happen with in the Corps makes news. Why ? Because our standards are supposed to be higher than everybody else. So when that standard gets tarnished it makes headlines. Just like every generation of Marines, there are always a few that slip in and give the Corps a black eye. Overall The Marine Corps will grow even stronger from this.
Remember, we have got great Marines that you don’t hear about because they do their jobs and Honor the Code that we still live by today.
God Bless the United States and God Bless the Marine Corps

Crime in the USMC is nothing new. When I was in we had brigs full of them from stealing gov property ,stealing from their fellow Marines ,using drugs and even assault and murder but we are in a new age the crimes may be different and it made national news but a crime is a crime no matter how you shake it.

I may be only a 6 year Marine Corp Veteran .And my grandfather was a WWI Veteran. I like the rest of you find this disgusting .and an embarrassment to our beloved Corps.These people should be investigated and prosecuted to the maximum of the UCMJ.

We are in a time of “Gimmie Stuff” and, if you won’t give me stuff I’ll take it! Now it has found its way into the Marines. I agree with you Harry It was only a matter of time. Nick 0311/8531
