[SUSSA]

I agree with you that the CO didn’t, and isn’t, taking action to rescue this Marine because it might be bad for his career. I just think that is disgraceful.

Let's be clear, I didn't say his inaction is due to concerns about creating a blemish on his career.

I am saying his inaction may be a) because he may no longer have jurisdiction in the matter (if in fact the Marine was within his command) or b) the result of his oath to obey the orders of his superiors.
