The Marine Corps has removed its commanding general in Europe and Africa while he is under investigation for reportedly using racial slurs.
Maj. General Stephen Neary, a two-star general, was relieved of his duties on Monday due to a "loss of trust and confidence in his ability to serve in command," the Marine Corps said in a statement obtained via email by The Hill.
Stars and Stripes reported earlier this month that Neary was under investigation for reportedly using racial slurs when referring to African Americans.

You can’t lead men who don’t respect you. They won’t respect you if you insult their heritage.
So, he challenged some Marines playing RAP using the ‘nigga’ word and he gets relieved??
So what exactly did he say? Inquiring minds want to know.
I agree with that, but then again, how many marines have you met with pristine oral acumen?
Dumb @zz.
Political Correctness on Steroids...Marines you guys are fighters....don’t take this laying down...don’t let the thought police run you over...fight back!
Thsys funny. Never met met a marine that didn’t use a racial slur. Lol
Trump should promote him instead. Something fishy about this one.

Stars and Stripes reported earlier this month that Neary was under investigation for reportedly using racial slurs when referring to African Americans.
The incident occurred in August, when he made a comment about the music a group of Marines were listening to during an outdoor training session, according to Stars and Stripes.
Some of the music incorporated the n-word, which allegedly prompted Neary to ask other marines how they would feel if he said it.
Unless the guy was spouting KKK talking points at the base kindergarten class, I prefer the Marines not be concerned about politically correct wokeness. Their talk is supposed to be rough.
Appears the general challenged music glorifying thug heritage - music that contained the hated n word that incorporates two consonants.
Anybody want to know why the military brass doesn’t support trump this is why. The system is set up to prevet and clear out these type of people before they become a problem.

Leftwing political correctness is out of control! It appears Gen. Neary was overruled by his own command's political commissar.
Something like what happened in “Blackboard Jungle”
Maybe he was just doing some Lil Wayne rappin’.
His career was ended for the crime of repeating rap lyrics while white.
Also to blame is the reporter for the Stars and Stripes who reported this making it sound far worse than it is.
Political Correctness is death
........this one stinks! I suspect over-reaction by higher up brass or some higher up brass had it in for General Neary.
From what I read, the General just asked a very pertinent question. His seniors should grab some sack and back him up rather than PC’ng the man into retirement.
Since when is playing music with vulgarities considered professional in the work place? If the good general is going to hang so should the so-called Marines who complained about this.
