You're celebrating people being murdered with the skills they learned in the Marine Corps.  There's a reason why they have the lowest standards for admission.

Army MOS requirements



Marine MOS requirements



They have been notorious for granting waivers for people other branches wouldn't take as well.

Quoted:

The Warren Commission concluded that three bullets had been fired at the Presidential limousine from the sixth floor, southeast corner window, of the Texas School Book Depository. Finding that the first pierced the President's neck, the Commission also indicated that "[although * * * not necessary to any essential findings * * *, there is very persuasive evidence from the experts to indicate that [this] * * * same bullet * * * also caused Governor Connally's.
A second bullet caused a massive and fatal wound to the President's head; (13) a third bullet was believed to have missed the car and its occupants. (14)

Quoted:





Line score requirements for particular MOSs are not admission standards.



The Marine Corps requires an AFQT score of 32(50 if you have a GED), which is higher than the Army. I'm not sure which "people other branches wouldn't take" you are referring to, but it isn't uncommon for the Army, Navy, or the Marine Corps to get recruits that didn't make the cut with other branches for various reasons.



Which branch were you in?

In child abuse cases, allegations by the future ex-wife & future ex-sister-in-law and a little coaching by those two of their children is considered sufficient to destroy a man's life.

Sadly, that's all too plausible.

Still, there are a lot of problems with who we promote to senior NCO rank across all services, and how they're selected. I wouldn't necessarily be surprised at how this turns out, no matter how it goes. I've seen some seriously sociopathic bastards who managed to make E8 and E9, in the Army. Not all of them, by any means, but enough that I have to wonder what the hell a lot of the promotion boards are thinking of, when they release the lists. There are a couple I know personally that if you were to tell me tomorrow that they were serial killers or rapists, I'd just shake my head and not be a damn bit surprised.

The way this guy was portrayed in the book, I kinda suspect we're going to find out that a.) he did it, and b.) this isn't the first time, either. Something about the way he was described just resonates with "issues" of some kind, and not in a good way. A lot of the senior guys I worked around in the Army that behaved like that were all too likely to have huge skeletons in their closets that they'd managed to keep hidden for years--Things like real sexual harassment of female subordinates and a bunch of other crap I don't even like to remember. You don't find too many "benign martinets", in my experience. They're usually masking some other pathologic behavior problems with their antics, and the senior leaders are all too prone to mistaking that for "dedicated leadership". Which is how these jackasses wind up being promoted to Sergeant Majors in the first place--Poor leadership over them for most of their careers.

Most likely case is that his wife initiated a divorce and is using the kid to leverage everything to herself.  Fake rape/molestation charge against husband cinches it in divorce court.  Guy is ruined even when innocent.
