Leslie Carbone: Leaving a Marine Behind
Leslie Carbone: Leaving a Marine Behind
Leslie Carbone has some great compliments for our young Marines who serve this country, observing them in "the crucible" as they take what soldier skills they have learned and put them to the test at the end of Basic Training. She also has a great synopsis of the problem with Jim Webb (aka: Lt. Dan.) Says Leslie:
" My visit to Parris Island last month strenghthened my regard for the U.S. Marine Corps.It remains strong--despite the efforts of my junior Senator.Jim Webb was a Marine. So was his aide, Phillip Thompson, who tried to bring a gun into the Russell Senate Building on Monday. Sen. Webb has responded to the incident with evasive statements that leave more questions than answers, even refusing to confirm or deny Mr. Thompson's claim that the gun belongs to the Senator, who asked the aide to carry it, and let his fellow Marine spend his 45th birthday in D.C. jail. What is he hiding? Why is he hanging his aide, a fellow Marine, out to dry?"
She makes a great point, and one I am sure the "Senator" doesn't want to answer. Stop by her site over coffee.
