Galvin said the Marine Corps could complete the reconciliation by awarding Fox Company members the Marine Corps Raider badge in a public ceremony.

How about a parade?

Trump has the right idea when he says we need a military parade to honor our troops.

“Special Forces Marine” — ?????

That's “Force Reconnaissance" commonly referred to as Force Recon. A friend of mine was in them and I always thought he was saying "Forest Recon." Later I read up on this highly skilled Special Forces Operations capable unit.

The Clint Eastwood movie Heartbreak Ridge was about a Force Recon unit.

You have to question why it has taken nearly 11 years for these men to be exonerated. They’ve suffered deeply because of these accusations.

First of all, the wanna bees aren’t Special Forces.

You almost got it right. They might be “Special Operations” capable, but no where near Special Forces capable.

Don’t confuse FORECON with MARSOC.

Nicholson’s promotion pay for the 10 years should go the guys defamed. He should also lose those promotions. Any officer who makes a statement advocating guilt before the conclusion of the investigation should be demoted.

Could be because of micro-management of those within the White House for all those years. If you look at it broadly, it goes back further than 30 years.
Look at what LBJ did in Nam.....

I spent a short time working for then Col Nicholson a few months after the attack. Nice guy to talk to, but he struck me as a politician in uniform. Some argue that is exactly what is needed for an insurgency fight. Maybe. But it never pays to trust a politician, IMHO.

He sniffed the wind and decided what comments would most please Valerie Jarret Obama,Susan Rice,Samantha Power, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and further his career.

And he got his promotions.
