Yes, General Nicholson is one of the Bush/Obama “perfumed princes” steeped in political correctness and SJW mission orthodoxy. He largely destroyed the lives of these honorable Marines but, by doing so, insured his continued promotions. A real piece of crap, IMHO.
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.
