Last fall, the Navy Department had a controversial disciplinary case before it: Maj. Jason C. Brezler had been asked by Marine colleagues to submit all the information he had about an influential Afghan police chief suspected of abusing children. Brezler sent a classified document in response over an unclassified Yahoo email server, and he self-reported the mistake soon after. But the Marine Corps recommended that he be discharged for mishandling classified material.
The Navy Department, which oversees the Marine Corps, had the ability to uphold or overturn the decision. However, rather than just looking at the merits of the case, Navy officials also assessed that holding new hearings on the case would renew attention on the scandal surrounding child sex abuse in Afghanistan, according to military documents newly disclosed in federal court.
The documents, filed Tuesday in a lawsuit by Brezler against the Navy Department and Marine Corps, also show that Marine and Navy officials in Afghanistan were aware in 2012 of allegations of abuse against children by the Afghan police chief but that the chief was allowed to keep his position in Helmand province anyway. This became a major issue after a teenage boy who worked for the chief — and allegedly was abused by him — opened fire on a U.S. base Aug. 10, 2012, killing three Marines and badly wounding a fourth.
The five-page legal review, written last October by Lt. Cmdr. Nicholas Kassotis for Vice Adm. James W. Crawford III, the judge advocate general of the Navy, recommended that the Marine Corps’ actions against Brezler be upheld.

Obama put “politically correct”on steroids.
Yep. Need to be politically correct so we don’t make the enemy look bad.
The enemy is islam — the most bizarre, twisted, violent, and evil religion on the planet. It’s politically incorrect to state the truth.
Laws are for the little people.
“Navy officials also assessed that holding new hearings on the case would renew attention on the scandal surrounding child sex abuse in Afghanistan”
I’ve been thinking for quite some time that Evil has the upper hand. This kind of article contributes to those thoughts.
Democrats are running the military. Its' 'dancing boys, abuse, classified emails... and a military too stupid or vile to find a way to Benghazi from Italy...
Congress sets the rules and regulations for the military. The GOP has been leading from behind for a while when it comes to that.
Three marines dead because the US military trotted to cover up and justify homo boy rape. I find less reason every single day to reflexively support the military. It’s now case by case.
I am a ex-Navy, and doesn’t a day go by when I don’t feel embarrassed that I ever was...seems to be something different every day.
It seems that there are no longer any men of strong moral fiber leading our military. If there were, owebama, hitlery, and the lot of them would be in shackles and leg irons at the nearest brig.
Muslims are above the law - the Koran tells them so.
Soon a rapefugee who thinks that will get caught in the act and then get popped. This isn’t Germany.
Ray Mabus’ Navy and Marine Corps, we are destroying ourselves on his orders and social experiments.
