Why no reports of assault with bodily fluid? If the airport authorities had this much control over the deplaning Marines, why no security in the airport?
How many spitting pukes were involved?
There are plenty of military installations locally that these heroes could have landed. Why was Oakland chosen?
Now don't get mad at me I'm just asking for information. That being said... I know anyone in uniform cannot retalerate against random pukes in public. BUT if I am witness to it, I'll gladly spend a day or two in jail for punching the crap out of anyone that dares to spit on anyone in our countries service.
According to the Chaplian's report, it was his interpretation of the treatment the Marines received. There were no actual incidents.
It is my sense that if the general public saw any such thing, there would be a Flight 93 moment and you would have considerable company in the lock up. Good company at that.
