to you, Bob, for your huge effort in the Defend Our Marines, and related web sites. Your own articles and your collections of articles by others bring home the realities of the impact of laws (sometimes applied correctly; other times not) on the individual troop.

And, keep gnawing at the generals' ankles.

Even in the Corps, generals have yielded to lawyer-politicians, going back (in my memory) to Ribbon Creek and Matthew McKeon. The problem there was not the court-martial (it found what it found); the problem was the generals' abject capitulation during the course of the Congressional investigation.
