Stein made a grave error in judgement. If had decided to march in uniform in a gay parade, he would have been promoted instead of discharged.
Would normally put a [/s] here, but sadly its true.
That’s complete bullshiite and you know it. This Marine was a Sgt, an NCO. In the Marine Corps we put a ton of responibilty on our NCO’s. The Marine Corps is about small unit leadership. This Sgt knew the rules on political statements while representing himself as a Marine. He chose not to follow those rules and paid the price for it. He was held accountable for his actions. He was also ordered to cease his activities. He refused the order. He was given the chance to rectify his behavior and failed to do so. This Marine did not deserve to be a Sgt in my beloved Marine Corps. Period. End of story. He failed as a leader of Marines and paid the price.
