Okay, one of the marines is your brother. But WHY can't we know who they are? If they go public, the public outcry will be huge. NO ONE will back this establishment--NO ONE. Even liberal democrat senators will denounce this situation (at least for the television cameras). It will create the kind of fast, powerful moral rebuke that changes institutions and establisments overnight.
You're right- but ultimately it's up to them how they want to handle it. Anyway a few options are being discussed.
