[Captain Rhino]

Keep up your fulminations concerning conspiracies at the highest levels.

As for me, after serving 23 years in the Marine Corps as an enlisted Marine and as an officer, I'll keep my own counsel on what was probably an almost spontaneous act done by two low ranking enlisted soldiers while in a highly charged emotional state.

Semper Fi, Mac. (In every sense of the phrase.)

[bestintxas]

I commend your service.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion about what probably happened, whether it was a spot decision by an NCO (with either pure or nefarious intentions) or an order from higher. But we will never know unless there is an investigation into the order to delete the video.

I will reserve my judgment once we learn more about the NCO who gave the order.
