His life, his career, his choice.
Marines wanted an example and they made it.
Nuff said.
I wish Mr. Stein well and thank him for his service.

As I understand it all military personnel are well informed
that they are an apolitical entity. He was a sergeant.
Now is not the time to be stupid.
Libertas:
Being in the military does not disqualify someone from holding political opinions or even speaking them and one can also belong to a political party, but the military has always drawn a hard line on anything challenging the chain of command. The Sergent knew this, and he made a choice. Right/wrong/indifferent it was his to make, and he'll have to live with it.
