I tried to get it operated on at the Air Force Hospital at Kadena. But the Air Force surgeon told me if they operated, I'd have arthritis, and kind of talked me out of it. Said wait until I got out, yada, yada, yada. Got several pages of records. A Navy surgeon at Hansen for a couple of days said, he'd do it, but, he was leaving the next day. :what:

I understand what you say, but right is right and wrong is wrong. The JAG office at the time told me they had recommended no prosecution because the evidence was so shaky. But, battalion was moving forward against their advice. You see, prior to this, I stood up for my cubical-mate when a sergeant walked into our cubical uninvited and caught him rolling a joint. I testified for my friend, and his charges were dropped. It came back and bit me on the ass. Example and all that shit. My record states that I was an above average Marine before, but I turned into a gold brick real quick, especially after they denied my request for transfer to Nam to prove my mettle and reclaim my honor and dignity. They essentially made me into something that I wasn't, and I let them by saying fuck you to them.

The system was abused to set some bullshit example that never had any effect as nearly all my platoon were heads, and no one was ever busted again. They tried, but couldn't. But some did go to the brig too for petty offenses. It was the only way they could get back at us.
