MARINE CORPS COMMANDANT WANTS MARINES TO GET SQUARED AWAY
The problem is that you don't always get the best possible Marine recruits when you're trying to keep the Corps at its present size of around 200,000. That's why the CM PRESS has been in favor of cutting back the size of the Corps to around 175,000. And, the Corps really needs to find a way to keep women out of combat and not accept gays. Women and gays who want to serve, have plenty of opportunities in the other services.

HERE IT IS AGAIN: CLAY EPPERSON'S COLUMN WITH THE MASSIVE CORRECTION AFTER THE COLUMN
Folks, the Daily Pilot should do more to correct the record.
The reputations and good names of the people and firms named in the original column are at risk.
Even though the Pilot ran the massive correction after the column, some readers apparently don't know whether to believe the original column or the correction.
For example, here's a comment from Eleanor Egan below Epperson's column and the correction in the Daily Pilot: "Having no personal knowledge of the matter, I don't know whether to believe the original version or someone's anonymous 'correction.'"
Ms. Egan may not be alone in her confusion, and the Pilot should clear things up. And, it should do so quickly and by correcting the record in as prominent a manner as was given to Epperson's column; not just by publishing, as it did, a massive footnote following his column.
