I cannot imagine Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Wuterich remaining on active duty after this is all over, but I am proud that he refused administrative separation. He needs to be exonerated in court, not for his own life but for the sake of the Corps. Then he can leave the service that failed him but leave with his reputation intact. Even though portions of the USMC leadership have not been faithful under this “Commander”-in-Chief, honor matters, and Wuterich appears to understand that and to have that level of honor. I pray for him daily, and I hope God still considers America worthy of His grace, despite what parts of our country have become.
He better deserves to have a ship named after him than Murtha.
