Don’t report terror suspect’s military career

Everitt Jameson

In regard to the terror suspect, Everitt Jameson, the continual news coverage calling him a former Marine is insulting. He was kicked out of the Marine Corps and showing him in uniform is outrageous.

The news media continues to broadcast biased material in an attempt to garner sympathy for the so-called oppressed. I am not an ex-Marine, but my father was, and many of my high school friends served in Vietnam.
