Sgt. Maj. Ruins career by publicizing female Infantry study results instead of destroying them

Filed · 1539

QUANTICO, Va. — Sgt. Maj. Justin LeHew was notified this week that he will receive an other than honorable discharge from the Marine Corps, sources report, after LeHew recently ruined his career by releasing negative study results instead of destroying them.

LeHew, the Sergeant Major of Marine Corps Training and Education Command, made the career ending move last month, by publicly releasing the methodology and results of a study that found gender-integrated infantry units performed worse than all male ones.

In his publicly-visible Facebook post, LeHew said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus was "way off base" in his comments on women in the infantry, also adding that he was "unfair to women who participated in the study." Since his remarks, LeHew has been "unavailable for comment," reportedly chained in the basement of the Commandant's home, sources say.
