You're making me defend Amos. Get it together Marine Corps Times.

Marine Corps Times has been doing sterling work in their coverage of the allegations of undue command influence by General Amos.

But their recent story is forcing me into an uncomfortable position.  I'm having to defend not only Amos, but also HQMC.

Read the story here, but this is the operative paragraph (the one where HQMC "raps" a Congressman for supporting a whistle blower)....

At Marine Corps headquarters, which has made few public remarks about the allegations surrounding Amos, a spokesman took aim at Jones for divulging his letter to Fitzpatrick. “The commandant has made it his practice to not share, neither publicly nor privately, official correspondence from his desk to fellow general officers or other senior government officials, in particular members of Congress,” said Col. Chris Hughes. “As such, he elects not to comment on Rep. Jones’ public disclosure of his personal letter, nor the motivation behind doing so.”

Like I said.  Read the entire article, but if thats HQMC and Amos "raps" ing a Congressman then either the writer of the article or the editors need to get out in the real world.

That's soft as charmane to 99.9% of the population.  You could probably find pockets of people in New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C. or perhaps Chicago that thinks thats playing rough but rainbows and unicorns don't fly over the rest of the country.

Get it together MCT.  Report the news.  Don't invent it.
