Another Amos victim partially cleared. Must read from Marine Corps Times.

A high-profile Marine officer who was removed from his job for writing a confrontational email was deemed fit for full duty after undergoing a mental health evaluation at the urging of his command, his attorney told Marine Corps Times.
Maj. James Weirick, a military lawyer based in Quantico, Va., earlier this year filed a complaint with the Defense Department inspector general accusing Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Jim Amos and his legal advisers of interfering with the prosecution of several cases connected to a controversial war zone video showing four Marines urinating on dead insurgents. Weirick was ousted from his post in late September after sending a strongly worded email to Peter Delorier, one of the officials named in his complaint. He also was slapped with a restraining order, and asked to surrender his personal firearms and submit to a risk assessment at the base’s mental health clinic.
On the risk assessment’s scale of zero to 10, Weirick was rated “zero-to-three,” said his attorney Jane Siegel.

The Marine Corps Times can be bad.  Very bad.  Some of their stories are fluff pieces that make me want to punch walls.  They belong on the pages of a women's magazine, not in a journal for war fighters.

Having said that, the Marine Corps Times can also be very, very, very good.

This is one of those times.

They've stuck to this story like a dog on a bone and they are to be applauded.  Read the entire story here, but it should be evident to anyone that keeps up with Marine Corps affairs.

Amos must go.  He is at best a slimy, no good, pathetic excuse of a politician.

At worst (and I believe he exhibits the "worse" traits possible in a leader) he is a criminal in uniform, abusing his power as Commandant and needs to be replaced post haste'.
