David Nevers, did not answer directly. But, he said in a formal statement: “Our Marines are currently engaged in two fights, and our focus should not be drawn away from those [...]
Military life is not always easy, and war truly is hell. Those who strive in the military do so because they understand the nature of personal sacrifice for the greater good.
