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