Seriously, you and I both know that the officers in charge and the senior DI's set the tone for this to happen.
Glass may have been cut loose, but I'm thinking he did a LOT more that we aren't privy to and even his chain of command couldn't cover for him.
I don't know the guy but I'd rather send him up than start having Marine boots marched into the swamps to die by accident like they did back in the 50's.
....and yes, I've had the abuse, which was worse than a tent pole upside the head but at least I think I deserved it. /sarc
If I remember correctly Chesty Puller himself testified at that court martial about how Marines should be trained and I think won an acquittal for that DI.
Jack Webb may have even done a fictional account of it in “The DI”.
I would hate to think that Glass himself couldn’t make it through what we went through.
When I got out of Boot Camp I never wanted to have to hit another Marine, (I did several times without being charged) but my first instinct was that if I ever was a Drill Instructor I could do it without beating on recruits.
If Glass and his cronies are guilty of anything it is of being poor leaders, a capital sin in the Corps.
