2 Marine commanders relieved in wake of nude-photo sharing

The Marine Corps relieved two commanders this year partly due to their handling of the service's nude photo-sharing scandal, a top general said Tuesday.
The removal of the commanders, who were among the five relieved by the service, is proof the Marine Corps is taking action at the highest levels following revelations in March that troops were sharing nude photos and lewd comments about fellow service members online, said Gen. Glenn Walters, an assistant commandant and the head of a task force investigating the activity.
"You hear a lot out in the press that we don't hold people accountable. Yes, we do," Walters told reporters at the Pentagon.
