I think it's more likely that the Marines of 3.1 won't even give him the time of day, much less any cooperation, now that he has revealed his hard left colors. So with typical liberal arrogance and hubris, he feels he can write this missive and fool the grunts into thinking he's playing his job straight - after all, in his mind, the Marines are simple-minded rubes who aren't worthy of washing his underwear. It's the same attitude - we're too stupid to know better - that defines the MSM here at home, and the attitude that's driving the democrats into faking piety and a belief in God.
Betrayal is an ugly thing and Sites knows that is just what he did. And it's very public and it is there for the world to see. He betrayed that young Marine into a courts-martial and he betrayed all the Marines to Al Jazeera.
Having a point of view is one thing. Betraying American soldiers to the enemy is another.
