David Allender, founder of the Web site DefendOurMarines.com, called the case against Grayson and others "an absolute sham."
That David Allender dude is a pretty smart guy! This case is a sham. When the government added on the charge of attempting to fraudulently obtain his discharge, they sunk to a new low with such a frivolous charge. 1st Lt. Grayson's lawyer, Joseph Casas previously noted it "may be one of the worst examples of unprovoked ferocity in the Corps 232-year history."
What surprised me most was that Convening Authority, Lt. Gen. Samuel Helland, signed off on these new charges. It is beyond me what Helland or the prosecutors think they will get by subjecting this Marine to such pettiness. It comes across as simple harrassment, or maybe sour grapes, since the 1st Lt. refused to "fall on his sword for the good of the Corps" when he was offered a plea. He chose to maintain his honor instead.

Thanks, RedRover. And you are right about activism being fun. But when you are in the ring you just want to keep swinging. We are so glad you all were there when we needed you. The exonerations of Michael Hensley and Jorge Sandoval are proof that your contributions are worth their weight in gold. Thanks again!
