Anthony Zinni was the Commandant of the Suck either right as i was getting out , or right after, not a Soilder as the article claims. Lots of research involved.
Or maybe it was the 1st Mar Div. the fog of time has clouded my mind.......
Zinni was never the Commandant. He was the CENTCOM Commander while I was in Somalia, and we all know how that goat rope turned out!
O.K here it is "From 1987 to 1989, Zinni served on Okinawa as the Regimental Commander of the 9th Marines " Knew i had served under him somewhere, but couldnt remember where. G 2/9 wpns plt.
You are mistaken, Zinni was never Commandant.
