One less honorable Marine out there. I wish him much success and that he and his family stay safe.

They were mounted carefully inside a wooden case and engraved with an inscription for Jones.

Anyone know what the inscription says?

After fighting nearly a year against the Marine Corps he loved, 2nd Lt. Ilario Pantano on Friday lay down his gilded officer's sword, exhausted and uncertain about his future.

IIRC, he was a very accomplished young man who gave up a lot of material success to join the Marines. I'm sure he'll do well wherever he goes.

Even the old "Crotch" (Old Corps euphamism for the Corps) has gotten PC. Will it ever end? It had better end because if it doesn't, we're finished as a Nation and as a people.

Thank you for posting this.

I think what a truly blessed woman his wife is. And those boys are sure to be raised true blue men. Makes me hopeful for my daughter's prospects in the future.

Lt Pantano is a great loss to the corp. There will be others. Let us pray that they do not have to endure the monday morning quarterbacking and backstabbing the Pantano experienced. Let us also pray that the corp rids itself of its politically correct "commissars" like major Keane who was even unwilling to shut his stupid mouth after his commanding general threw the case out.

I received an e-mail back from LT Pantano today thanking me and others who supported him during this painful and trying time. Lt Pantano is a hero and did not deserve what the leftist media and other tried to do to him. He is moving on with his life and I'm sure that he will be a success at whatever he choses to do.

Semper Fi' from one Jarhead to another!
