Not a Marine, Just a Recruit
RECEIVED Mon., April 13, 2009
Michael King.
I enjoyed your column on Alex Jones in the recent Chronicle [“Point Austin,” News, April 10]. It should be pointed out, however, that the shooter in Pittsburgh was not a Marine. He was kicked out of boot camp. While in boot camp you are simply a recruit, and the title of Marine is only earned after 13 weeks of training. That whack job was never a Marine and never will be.
