I, too, am 78-years old. Was on active duty 1961-1964. They are innocent until proven guilty They need to be tried and if they are found guilty, they should be executed as criminals. Not a firing squad, but they should be hung by the neck until dead. Their bodies should be then given up for spare parts. Lots of people need kidneys, lungs, etc. Let some good come their evil deeds.

I concur

Thomas Gray - April 10, 2020

Agreed! But, the corrupting influence of “drug money” is more than likely the primary factor in this case.

I too have to agree with my fellow Marines comments. I am a retired MGySgt, 62 years old. This latest incident has left a lasting tarnish on our motto: “Semper Fidelis”. Those values we have taken an oath to and instill in our brothers; Honor, Courage, Commitment and God, Country and Corps. This is the hallmark that makes us unique. Separate from any other military service. I made Marines at Parris Island as a DI on two separate tours and was the most rewarding duty station I experienced. I beg to question also, have we lowered our standards, have we traveled so far left that we don’t hold Marines to our corps values and beliefs. True it is the opinion of todays society that they feel entitled, not responsible and express that “it’s not my fault”. Each time some dumb ass in our Corps highlights himself in the media in a negative way, another knife it plunged in our strength of who we are. And who we are we take to the end of our days, Once a Marine, Always a Marine.
I think we need to go back to policing out young Marines the way we used to do: “take him out back be hind the barn and have a one way conversation”.

The cupcakes this country is raising these days, God help our Corps.

Robert A Winkle - April 10, 2020

I couldn’t agree more! I’m 71 and pent my time in Nam, and still look at myself as old Corps, and the dignity that goes with it, and it’s for life. We fought socialism in Nam, didn’t anybody learn from that?

Young enlisted Marines who were probably not taught any moral values at home.

Amen Brother, its all about me give me more and less effort on my part.
No respect for our flag, country, rule of law , religion. Values have deteriorated.
Unfortunately it is a computer generation, folks cannot carry a conversation
And look you in the eye., they are constantly looking at their E mails
Taking phone calls as that is more important than you. The Marines have
Changed as they bow to political pressures. Our country is in a sad state and
Getting worse.

This type of behavior has become very common in our society. Our leaders in The Corps should have seen this coming . It was only a matter of time. Just young Marines thinking to make a quick and easy buck and got in too deep. Sad event for The Corps. Harry 1371
