Military Investigates 2 Marines for Social Media Post

By JULIE WATSON, ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN DIEGO — Jun 16, 2016, 8:04 PM ET

The Marine Corps is investigating two active-duty Marines at Camp Pendleton for a social media post of a photo of a corporal in uniform holding an assault rifle and the message: "Coming to a gay bar near you!"

Maj. Staci Reidinger said Thursday that fellow Marines alerted officials to the post, and authorities were able to track down the Marine in the photograph and another one who reposted it.

According to the Marine Corps Times, the post appeared on a private Facebook group for male Marines with the words "Too soon?" before the administrator deleted it and banned the person from the group. The administrator of the Facebook group could not be reached for comment.

Reidinger said it goes against Marine Corps values.
