And then after being labeled the most dangerous men in the Navy they were quietly reentered into service without comment for us to complete their tour of Duty and then dishonorably discharged. President Clinton offered clemency the remaining survivors they told him to eat s*** they wanted exoneration or nothing else. Barack Obama tried to trigger exoneration but only the secretary of the Navy can do it. And rumor has it they are looking at it as we speak.
