I don't think "Whistle Blower" is really the correct term here Russel. That would imply nobody knew what transpired. The whole fricken country knows how much they f'd up the Afghanistan withdrawal. All this Marine asked is that his leaders be held to the same level of accountability as the rest of the military. That's not "whistle blowing" it's moral fortitude. This man is a hero!
Err... REALLY??! Afghan Viral Video Marine Now JAILED!!!
" .. this is so bad that I'm going to have to transgress these principles ( military rules ) because a higher principle is in order .. " ( then talks about whistle blowing and how they have to break "the rules" to expose the issues which those above them want covered up .. ) - Russell Brand
