O'Reilly wasn't really much of an advocate for Patano.

He might not have went as far as you like. And I personally don't like O'Reilly. But he did think enough of this story and that Marine to put it on his TV show. And O'Reilly and any other person out there that made anyone aware of this story should be commended.

That is such great news!!! G-d bless America and the Marines (not to mention all other services). Now where does Pantano go to get his reputation back?

Fortunately for him, the Corps needs him more than he needs the Corps. He can just go back to Wall Street and make the big bucks.

Who was they guy here earlier in the year that said that WND was on a PR campaign on this guy, that anyone who disagreed with him were pukes and on and on and on. Also, the MArines never make a move like this unless the case is airtight. Someone needs to alert him and let him know what a know nothing puke he is.
