    Default The Marine who turned to terror and became a lone wolf

    A long anticipated issue for the UK military; one shared by most armed services when a serving member becomes a 'lone wolf'.

    As the BBC explains:
    A Royal Marine Commando from Northern Ireland has pleaded guilty to preparing acts of terrorism linked to dissident republicanism. Ciaran Maxwell's case raises alarming questions of how he was able to penetrate the ranks of an elite British military unit and smuggle out arms.

    I note he joined the Royal Marines in 2010 and was id'd as a suspect in August 2016. He pleaded guilty yesterday and will be sentenced one day.
