I'm so glad this Marine, Joshua Acevedo, who was forced out of the Corps after an investigation in which another Marine said he saw Acevedo commit murder to an unarmed insurgent. Now he is being warded a BS w "V" Device. Now for the rest of the story.

It certainly is Sgt Spencer Sikder. Great news. I just wish he could have made a career out of the Corps, which is what he signed up for.

Seems he will become one of our legends that will be taught to all future Marines.

I love my beloved Corps but in this instance they got it completely wrong these are there devil dogs that we need to keep in the Corps. that can lead troops into combat missions never lose a man and and stay true to the Marine Corps spirit, this devil dog should have been reinstated and returned to his unit.

Agreed, PFC Terry Kuehner, He should have been reinstated. Especially after it was determined he was not guilty of murder. Besides that, it was an insurgent. Isn't that the enemy? Semper Fi
