Is the Marine Corps looking to downsize it's force by trumping up charges?

Speaking with a recently discharged Marine, the discussion centered around a belief that Marine Corps is looking for the slightest reasons to discharge their Marines. When we see the Marine Officer discharged because he sent an e-mail to help prevent disaster down range, it seems to validate the question.

There's no reason to. Most folks get out after 4 years anyways. The USMC can draw down naturally within 2~ years without much problem. Unfortunately, we have "cycles" of issues, and the media (and ourselves) become aware of legal issues, which make these things more prominent.
It's the "New car theory." When you buy a new Mazda, you start seeing that model everywhere. Same thing with specific criminal cases. Once you see one, you'll start seeing them (and similar) everywhere.

Without knowing the specifics of the incident you relate Sgt Spencer Sikder I can say that in a downsizing force, anything negative will hurt. I failed to promote to CDR (O5) in the post Desert Storm Navy. If I had been in during OIF/OEF, I'd probably have been a CAPT (O6).
