why exactly was sergeant stein discharged?basically, carol, it came down to this board and finally the general deciding that he just did not honorably serve. he did not uphold the honor of the united states marine corps. really a lot of it came down to the fact of this statement of not following an order. now, let's get down to t.honestly, i can't think of a scenario where a president of the united states is going to give a direct order to an enlisted marine. that's not how it works but the president devices strategy. the military then carries out that strategy, but even though he is a civilian, he still holds the title of commander in chief, and the military follows that civilian government. so in effect what this board was deciding was what he, you know, sort of being insubordinate, was he saying ahead of time that he was going to decide what orders he would follow and which ones he would not and he would decide what is lawful and unlawful? it basically came down to some of these statements that the marine corps felt they ga
