The Marine Corps could not be reached for comment.

Really? Now, I've never been a journalist. I briefly pretended to be one in High School but like so many other things, it went to the wayside. Regardless, I have been a Marine for a few years running now... enough to know that when --- THIS ARTICLE --- says, "The Marine Corps could not be reached for comment." What it really means to say is, "The Marine Corps WOULD NOT be reached for comment." If the reporter wanted a comment, she could have gotten one. Here's a comment,
"The kid is an idiot."

Ah heck, I've got to go to work. I'll try to write more later.
