The Marine Who Refused To Die:
A Scandal That Shook The Pentagon.
This gripping account follows the crucible of a young marine unjustly tried, convicted and smeared by General Court Martial only to be later awarded full honorable discharge and medical retirement for battlefield distinction and wounds sustained in combat. After enduring two years in Marine Prison, including ten months isolated in complete solitary confinement with no fresh air or sunlight, he fought back against the cover-up reaching The Pentagon and the controversial Bush Administration during the height of The Iraq War.
With the support of his extraordinary Marine Platoon Commander, a brave and courageous Naval Officer stepping forward steadfastly as whistleblowers of the gross injustice, and his family, a Marine Lance Corporal exposed a scandal that compromised The Department of The Navy and United States Marine Corps. Internal Department of Defense documents reveal a campaign of dishonor, under the guise of national security, chronicling how far those in power went to protect their interests, in light of the facts, at the expense of loyalty, honor and tradition. This Marine's story was almost never made public but his tenacity and miracle after miracle. He refused to succumb to Department of Defense smear campaign and found away to use the same battlefield tenacity and family pedigree to undergo intensive physical and mental health rehabilitative campaign in order to tell his story and expose other similar stories of military injustice and serve as a rally point for a generation of veterans thrown to The Department of Veterans Affairs after the military rain stopped and the umbrella of violence was no longer required.
