I know that the Ret AF Col that participated would likely have his pension revoked as punishment. But assuming the flagbearer was a Marine that did his 4 and got out, then completed the reserve requirement and isn&#39;t getting any disability payments; is there anything the USMC can do to him to indicate that that was an inappropriate conduct or use of the MC colors? Is there anything the USMC can do to the man carrying the MC flag to indicate that that was an inappropriate conduct or use of the MC colors? 2021-01-12T15:47:31-05:00 LCpl Ashur Nissan 6654912 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>On the news, I saw someone with a Marine Corps flag at the insurrection at the Capitol.

I believe.... there are some much more aware on this platform that I am sure could respond.

Not really.

Trying to crucify someone who in reality did nothing wrong attracts all the wrong kind of attention and makes it look like political BS to those watching closely.

Notlikely. Response by CW3 Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 13 at 2021 3:25 PM 2021-01-13T15:25:46-05:00 2021-01-13T15:25:46-05:00 2021-01-12T15:47:31-05:00
