Biden rescues Marine from Russian prison

[margaretms2]

I didn’t claim that he was innocent. I said that he, his family’, and the US ambassador said the charges were ridiculous. The whole story is weird. It just seemed odd to assume that the notoriously corrupt Russian criminal justice system is on the level here, simply because Joe Biden’s in the White House.

You ever met a “former” Marine?

Why is this guy “former”?

@margaretms2

I gotta say: the Marines have the best uniform for it.

I’ll agree with that. They got the uniforms right.

[margaretms2]

If he was identified simply as a “Marine” in the headline or article, it would create an ambiguity about whether he is currently serving or not. It could also create the misleading impression that Russia had arrested and jailed an active member of the US military. It would be confusing. Does “Marine veteran” work? That’s what the Marine Corps Times is calling him.

Although it always a good thing when an American is released from a foreign country, when arrested under questionable circumstances…I couldn’t help but notice how the MSM refers to him…a “marine”. At the time of his arrest, it’s my understanding he had already been discharged. If that’s true, why is he being labeled in the headline of the story…as a marine? The answer is because it’s a sheople trough, feeding the narrative they want regurgibleated.

Once a Marine always a Marine.

Done, but I would point out that there is debate on that topic among well respected historians and manuals of style, which I own more than one of.
