> LETTER FROM RET. MARINE CSM AND RET. MARINE MAJOR
3 September 2004, 06:54
SARG., I SPENT 4 YEARS IN KOREA AND LEARNED THAT A MILITARY MAN HAS NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS IN THE MILITARY, ESPECIALLY WHEN CRITICIZING HIS COMMAND SARGERANT OR ANY OFFICER ABOVE HIM ON THEIR DECISIONS. YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THAT YOU ARE DISCHARGED FOR THAT LUXURY. YOU KNOW THE RULES AND YOUR SON KNEW THE RULES, SO WHY THE BLEETING. I AM SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SON, BUT NO SOLDIER HAS A RIGHT TO CRITICIZE HIS COMMANDER . IF SO, WHY HAVE A COMMANDER. LET EVERYONE FIGHT OR GO INTO COMBAT ON HIS OWN SAY SO.
