Pvt. Frank Wuterich Receives General Discharge
MarCorps Times reports, here, that Pvt. Frank Wuterich was discharged today with a General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge. The story states:
The Marine Corps has discharged the lone Marine convicted in the 2005 killings of unarmed Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha, a spokesman said Tuesday.
Pvt. Frank Wuterich ended his service Friday, Marine Corps spokesman Lt. Col. Joseph Kloppel said.
Wuterich’s attorney, Neal Puckett, said in an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday that the Corps gave him a general discharge under honorable conditions.
So ends the long and tragic story that was Haditha–and our speculation (here) about what the Marine Corps would do with a 10+ year veteran Private.
H/t GGH
He gets a GUHC for a GCM resulting in an NJP sentence. What total BS. That the Commandant can look himself in the mirror explains why he is an aviator. Weak sister is an understatement. But the good news is that the next breed of flag officers can shoot down an Air Force F-4c and still make flag rank in the DoN. Does anyone other than me see how f’d up this is? Please tell me I am not hallucinating . . . Please!
Nah Charlie…you’re good.
Thanks, Phil. I just thought I may have had too much crack tonight.
