The Corps should drop manslaughter charges against MARSOC Marines, corpsman
By Rep. Brian Mast
Thursday, May 19
Loyalty. Duty. Country. These values matter to me.
As a bomb disposal expert in Afghanistan, I was the tip of the spear: It was my job to find and dispose of improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, and clear the path ahead so that the rest of my platoon could safely do their jobs.
The last IED I found, I discovered with my feet. When the bomb went off, I lost two legs and a finger.
During my lengthy recovery and rehabilitation at Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland, I knew one thing for certain: I was not going to let my last best days of service to my country be behind me. The same values that guided me on the battlefield compelled me to continue to serve. Now, as the representative for Florida’s 18th District, I’m committed to using my role in Congress to continue to clear the path so my brothers and sisters in arms can do their jobs.
