via Marine Corps Press Release...
It is unconscionable that USA Today would use the tragedy of Wednesday's military helicopter crash in Florida to criticize the unit to which the Marines were assigned, citing a controversial incident that occurred eight years ago in Afghanistan. The two events are completely unrelated and the story shamelessly devotes a few paragraphs to the crash in order to rehash old allegations against a small unit within the command -- most of which were found unsubstantiated through investigations and a court of inquiry. Linking the crash with the Afghanistan case was uncalled for and a disservice to the dedicated Marines of U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, and their families.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
Its past time that we saw a defense of the Corps against the politically correct and those that have no idea of our institution.
Well Done Colonel.
