one would hope but even in the everyday world you have people being prosecuted for petty crimes that should really fly under the radar with nothing more than a fine. but again you have the young hotshots that what to build thier reputation at the expense of those that can’t afford to defend themselves. its not like back in the day when you got caught with some pot and you paid a small fine for a misdemeanor.
Agreed, but this is a military case and everyone involved (including the prosecutor) is a Marine.
The Corps leadership must understand that “Semper Fidelis” is being replaced with “We Eat Our Young” in the minds of riflemen. Unless the leadership is willing to put a stop to this, the Marine Corps will go the way of other great institutions that only exist in memory.
