(CNN) – The highest-ranking officer in the US Marine Corps has ordered Confederate-related paraphernalia to be removed from all Marine installations.
The order from Commandant Gen. David Berger was one of several initiatives he prioritized for “immediate execution” in a memo sent to senior leadership last week, Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Joseph Butterfield told CNN.
Some of the other directives were posted by Berger on Twitter, including revising the parental leave policy to include same-sex couples, reviewing the possibility of yearlong maternity leave for female Marines and to get more female Marines into combat jobs.

They are still pushing the G.I. Jane scenario.
I got email from some woman who was in Syria on a U.S./U.N. joint task force operation.
She told me her unit stumbled upon a hoard of U.S. Dollars and her share was $2 million. She said she needed help getting it out of the country. I smelled a scam coming on so I deleted the message.
She did send me some nice pics of her holding a bull pup rifle. ;)

Good move. It could have been worse than a scam -- it could have been a set-up. And you could have been looking at some serious federal charges if you had conspired with her on the money thing.
I have a good friend who found out -- after an embarrassingly long time -- that his on-line "Russian girlfriend" was really a guy. "She" was trying to get money from him so "her" internet service wouldn't get disconnected. Ivan had sent some pretty pictures, too -- probably of his own girlfriend.

I have no doubt there. Smuggling large amounts of cash is not a good idea. I did not have any resources that she might have needed to do anything untoward anyway.
I know a guy with Interpol. I helped him bust some internet scammers in Nigeria. He sent me a picture of four of them handcuffed wrist to wrist like a daisy chain.
He apparently could not get them prosecuted, but they got their machines and all their contacts and they were put out of business too. ;)
