Al,
The officer referenced below, one of the original 4 officers charged in connection with Haditha, and the only other Marine who went to trial (other than our case beginning next week) was subjected to removal from the Captain's promotion list back in 2009 on recommendation by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, actual, despite being fully acquitted of his charges. This is what continues to be wrong with the system. This water has long ago flowed under the bridge, but something about this just doesn't sit right. It's worth a read.
S/f,
Neal

Subject: Grayson's promotion removal letter
Hi Neal, Attached is Lt Grayson's promotion removal letter. Lt Grayson was found not guilty on all charges under a CDA, yet his Commanding Officer back at II MEF and the Commandant pulled this nasty. Thanks, Bob
