A bipartisan group of Marine veterans in Congress are on a mission to clear the names of a group of MARSOC Marines.
Nearly 10 years ago, the men of Marine Special Operations Company Foxtrot survived an ambush during an operation in Nangarhar province near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Though every Marine survived the March 4, 2007 attack, they went on to suffer immensely, beginning with their immediate expulsion from Afghanistan amid unproven claims that they wantonly killed as many as two dozen civilians.
Disgraced and outcast by their own leadership, many of the Marines suffered psychologically, personally, and professionally from the backlash they faced while the military attempted to charge and imprison them — all over erroneous claims that they killed innocent civilians. Though ultimately cleared of wrongdoing in 2008, for many, their careers had been ruined and reputations damaged beyond repair due to persistent rumors that linger to this day.
