    As a retired Navy Senior Chief of 24 years of service of this country, I will say this, the Marine got what he had coming to him. He knows the law, he knew what he can do and cant do, and talking crap about the Commander In Chief of the United States Military. Just like talking smack about your boss. You would get fired quick fast and in a hurry for insubordination. So good on the Marine Corps.
