Every initiative that Amos has passed or is proposing will be up for major review by the next Commandant.
Marines endure and we're enduring Amos. The next guy has serious cleaning to do. The real question is this. How much damage has been done to the Corps by his leadership? We won't know until fresh leadership gives us a good accounting, but I'm not optimistic.
General James Amos is your Commandant. And that should scare the shit out of you.Read the entire article...please!
This reality should induce fear and uncertainty for a variety of reasons. Like the multiple investigations for abuse of command authority; mounting evidence that he submitted false statements in legal proceedings; ongoing investigations aimed at him and his staff regarding abuse of the classification process; multiple whistleblower accusations from three-star Generals to field grade officers, and former and current JAG lawyers.
Any one of these scandals should be enough cause for alarm. Looking at the long list of accusations against him and his staff, it’s hard to ignore the pattern of abuse that is unfolding.
North Carolina Congressman (R) Walter Jones, aptly summed up the situation in a letter he wrote to the director of the US Information Security Oversight Office, regarding the open investigation into the unlawful abuse of classification authority for the purposes of covering up misconduct, “this corruption, at the highest level of the USMC, is unlike anything I have witnessed in my 20 years in Congress.”
Let that sink in. A Congressman, a career politician, considers Gen. Amos to be one of the most corrupt figures he has ever encountered.
Every initiative that Amos has passed or is proposing will be up for major review by the next Commandant.
