[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 3628855, member: 4333"] Semantics in a headline...imagine that - his duty was that of battalion commander and he was relieved for cause of that duty/position, as stated in the article. He was not shown the gate as they cut the buttons off his uniform and broke his sword, a la Chuck Connors in "Branded". He remains a Marine LTC, albeit in an unassigned status while the situation plays out at higher HQ. You're putting an awful lot of stock in words used very imprecisely by a reporter and editor who went on to produce the brilliant term "enlisted officer" later in the article. [/QUOTE]
