I’m confused. Are they throwing him out of the service? Or are they stopping whatever job he had?
Regardless of his prior record, he will be relieved of command, responsibility, faces court martial and will ultimately be forced to resign his commission and leave the Marines. He knows full well this will happen and knowingly has sacrificed his career as a matter of honor and principle. He is a stark contrast to the lowlifes who have no honor or accountability.
Here is what he said on his Facebook today,
“To all my friends across the social networks. I have been relieved for cause based on a lack of trust and confidence as of 14:30 today.
My chain of command is doing exactly what I would do… if I were in their shoes. I appreciate the opportunities AITB command provided. To all the news agencies asking for interviews… I will not be making any statements other than what’s on my social platforms until I exit the Marine Corps.
America has many issues… but it’s my home… it’s where my three sons will become men. America is still the light shining in a fog of chaos. When my Marine Corps career comes to an end, I look forward to a new beginning. My life’s purpose is to make America the most lethal and effective foreign diplomacy instrument. While my days of hand to hand violence may be ending…I see a new light on the horizon.
