Marine Corps recruiter convicted on sex charges says ex-commandant’s talk went too far

IMHO, I do not feel that (Ret) GEN Amos's statements fall under Unlawful Command Influence. He was making a statement that Marines that commit these acts, that the Marines needs to be rid of them. And rightly so. The individual that was CONVICTED of these sexual crimes, based on the testimony of the victims, speaks for itself. In fact, it was the perpetrator that went to far with his actions and violated the trust that the Recruits AND the Marines gave him. Now, if (Ret) GEN Amos had told the judge and jury that they better come back with a guilty verdict or their career is toast....that would be Unlawful Command Influence. It was the acts of the Recruiter and NOT Amos that got him convicted.
