A marine is being discharged after criticizing President Obama on Facebook. This called to question the Pentagon`s policies on social networking and limits of what active duty military personal can say. Sgt. Gary Stein will not get an honorable discharge and will lose most of his benefits for violating the policies. The marine who has already served nine years said he was disappointed by the decision. Sgt. Gary Stein argued he was exercising his freedom of speech.
"I love the Marine Corps, I love my job. I wish it wouldn't have gone
this way. I'm having a hard time seeing how 15 words on Facebook could
have ruined my nine-year career," he told The Associated Press.
