Another USMC Officer Purged By Obama

The two-star head of Marine Corps Installations Command has relieved the commanding officer of Quantico’s Security Battalion following an incident involving a personal weapon, Marine Corps officials said.

Col. Daren Margolin, a 24-year officer was removed from his post Oct. 18 by Maj. Gen. Juan Ayala due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command, said Capt. Maureen Krebs, a Marine Corps spokeswoman.  

Krebs said the decision stemmed from a single incident last week involving one of Margolin’s personal weapons, but said she did not have authorization to elaborate on the incident.

He joins a list of several high rankinig officers who have been relieved of their commands in the last year or so. I covered this story earlier this week.  Everyone from aircraft carrier battlegroup commanders tobse commanders in Afghanistan have been let go.  All of them havebeen combat commands although this one is security related but nevertheless a combatesque position.   The purge of loyl ptriots in the us rmed forces continue…   why? -Mort
