tonight it is given over to a condensed, 1-hour version of Semper Fi: Always Faithful. It is about the poisoning of Marines and their families through the water supply at Camp Lejeune in NC.
I am a former Marine. I spent several weeks in infantry training regiment at Camp Geiger, a sub-camp of LeJeune. From what I know I was not exposed. But that does not matter.
Men and women and their families were exposed.
The Marine Corps did not do due diligence after they were first informed of the problem. They continued to fail in doing due diligence.
I am ashamed of the Marine Corps.
I am ashamed of our country.
You should see this movie. You can still turn on MS-NBC and watch what is on.
Please do so.
Thanks.
7:47 PM PT: and it is far more than just LeJeune. They showed a screen that said there are over 130 contaminated military sites, which makes the Department of Defense the nation's largest polluter, citing the EPA as the source.
We as a nation should be ashamed of what has been done.
8:02 PM PT: I wish MS-MBC would have shown the whole film.
I wish more people would have seen it.
I was glad to see Brad Miller being proactive on this, and will miss him when he leaves the House.
Thank those of you who watched.
Thanks to those who took the time to read/respond to this posting.
