The official transcript of Marine Sgt. Gary Stein's Administrative Separation Board hearing is now online. As is normal for a word by word transcript, it is heavy going. However, what it does show is that the evidence shown at the hearing was that Stein had been making inflammatory, intemperate and derogatory statements at several different public Facebook pages, and also at blog and commentary sites over a significant period of time. This was a pattern of behaviour, not one isolated incident. Contrary to claims made elsewhere, Stein was not being singled out for "15 words" or anything like it. He had dug himself quite a hole over a period of time with a number of statements in violation of military regulations.
UPDATE - The Separation Board has ruled that Sgt. Stein should receive a less-than-honorable discharge. Stein is still living in that place called Denial, clinging to his disingenuous "only 15 words" defense, which was torpedoed by evidence at his original hearing.
