Brezler's lawyer Kevin Carroll said his client’s immediate chain-of-command in the United States is not recommending punitive action, and the Marine command in Afghanistan called for the relevant document in the case to be declassified “because there is no information in the document which, if released, would damage national security."Read the entire article at Fox News here.
Brezler now faces a board of inquiry as early as next month where he could be forced from the Marine Corps. He could get what amounts to an "other than honorable" separation for sending the warning from a Yahoo account.
Brezler received the urgent request in summer 2012 from fellow Marines in Helmand Province, Afghanistan looking for background information on the official, Sarwar Jan, who was routinely allowed on base as part of the U.S. strategy to train local security forces before the 2014 withdrawal.
Brezler immediately responded, but there is no evidence that immediate action was taken. And days later, one of Jan's assistants allegedly opened fire on the Marines.
The problem isn't with leadership at the tip of the spear. They're acting as Marines always have...with dedication, resolve, a desire to get the job done and in the highest traditions of our organization.
The problem is with the people occupying the highest ranks of the Corps.
They're fucked up beyond recognition. Instead of giving this Marine a medal or at least an atta-boy, they instead give this Fire Fighter/War Fighter a board of inquiry instead.
Chesty must be cussing up a storm...wherever he is.
