CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — A Marine Corps board Thursday night recommended that a sergeant who made "contemptuous" comments about President Barack Obama be booted from the service and be given an other than honorable discharge.
Sgt. Gary Stein, who left a variety of anti-Obama comments on a Facebook page, was stoic when the three-member board announced its decision at about 11 p.m. after an all-day hearing.
The final decision on Stein’s status will be made by the commanding general of the Marine Corp Recruit Depot San Diego.
