A LTC who commanded one of the other squadrons that rotated between Cherry 
Point and Aviano was relieved of duty yesterday for telling his troops to 
destroy any evidence of their own possible wrongdoings.  The commanding 
general "lost confidence in his ability to command".
This is one black eye the Marines could have done without.  I hope they don't 
end up shooting themselves in the foot as well.
