This is not just a US Marine Corps problem. I have seen this time and time again in the Army too. We can cite ample examples from all branches. Not just with Senior Officers in the Army, but with Senior NCOs as well. Administrative vs. Disciplinary actions... While I understand official administrative actions against senior leaders are in effect career-ending... I also believe we do a good job turning our cheek, avoiding issues... until required to act... And then wonder why young troopers think there are two standards.

IMO, all the services have this issue. And it sets a very poor example for the troops. It becomes RHIP (rank has its problems and privileges) instead of lead by example

Thank you my friend COL Charles Williams for weighing in and posting. I concur with your assessment on the Task and Purpose article.
Double standards and corruption are sadly too common in many places.

I’d like to agree, but the caste system prevails in every aspect of our society. What differs is the level of accountability when someone is disciplined.
