    26th MEU battalion commander fired during deployment over equal opportunity concerns

    26th MEU battalion commander fired during deployment over equal opportunity concerns

    This is beyond ridiculous. This guy was an infantry officer. Who cares if he says something indelicate about gays, transgenders, or whomever?

    He should be killing America's enemies.


    Keep PC out of the military.

    An infantry battalion commander sacked in the middle of a deployment with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, or MEU, was at least partially fired for allegedly using a term that could be disparaging to members of the LGBTQ community, Marine Corps Times has learned.

    Following a vandalism incident during a port call visit by the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock New York in Gaeta, Italy, Lt. Col. Marcus J. Mainz, the commander of 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, allegedly used the term “$#@!" or “$#@!y” during a meeting with the 2/6 Battalion Landing Team leaders, multiple sources have told Marine Corps Times.




    Corps officials have said Lt. Col. Marcus J. Mainz was fired May 19 over a loss of trust and confidence in his ability to lead.




    Several Marines were charged with and punished for underage drinking while on liberty during a port visit in Italy. One of those Marines was also charged with vandalizing a construction site.


    Mainz was abruptly relieved of command by commander of Naval Amphibious Force, Task Force 51/ 5th Marine Expeditionary Brigade as the 26th MEU was operating in the 5th fleet area of operations, which covers the Persian Gulf, Red Sea and the Horn of Africa.

    If they keep firing experience over this trivial bull$#@!, two things are going to happen. Experienced Re enlistments which the military so badly needs will drop and the military will lose much needed leadership.

    Seems their concerns are a bit more complicated.

    Off topic.

    The commander at issue was not a member of any hate group.

    PC is destroying our ability to defend the nation.

    Sissy boys are not going to get the job done.
