Haditha Marine JAG censured by Secretary of Navy

Not much to comment here. Looks like Col. Robert G. Sokoloski, former chief of staff of 2nd Marine Division (Forward) and staff judge advocate general for the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Lejeune, has received a letter of censure from the Secretary of the Navy, Donald Winter. Two other senior officers involved in the incident received such letters, which are

expected to end the military careers of the three officers. When they file for retirement, their request will be reviewed by Winter, who will determine if they will retire at their current ranks or at the last rank at which they served satisfactorily, Marine officials said.
