I think W.Thomas Smith sums up the whole Scott Thomas affair rather nicely:
Of course, we know (and it’s been said over the past few days) that no officer or NCO would tolerate this kind of behavior from a soldier like the mysterious “Scott Thomas.”But knowing Marines and soldiers as well as I do (and Jim does), I’ll tell you what else would happen: If Mr. Thomas were witnessed mocking a female burn victim or running over dogs, he’d almost surely get his “a** whipped” by any number of the rank-and-file. And I’d be willing to put money on that.
Yeah, me too.
