CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – A Marine Corps commanding officer was relieved this week after demonstrating a “total lapse of judgment” by tolerating completely normal and unavoidable amounts of human fallibility and error in his Marines.

Lt. Col. Todd Greene had served as a battalion commander for nearly a year before higher leadership noticed “alarming levels of empathy and level-headed understanding” within his command.

“Lt. Col. Greene was relieved after the division commander lost trust and confidence in his ability to lead,” said 2nd Marine Division spokesman Capt. Michael Diaz. “His lack of archaic delusions about what constitutes leadership and discipline makes him unfit to lead Marines.”
