An internal investigation by the Inspector General of the U.S. Marine Corps has determined that a former commander in Europe violated the Corps' standards of leadership by using a racial slur while addressing troops in July 2020.
According to the investigation report, provided to Star and Stripes, now dismissed Maj. Gen. Stephen Neary "failed to demonstrate exemplary conduct, as defined by the standard, through his insensitive comments and lack of awareness and appreciation for how divisive his use of a racial slur would be on his organization and offensive to his Marines."
The investigation was prompted by Neary's use of the n-word after he says he took offense at its use in a rap song that was being played during physical training that was taking place at a base outside of Stuttgart, Germany.
As Stars and Stripes reports, "On the morning of July 22, 2020, Neary had just finished a run and was at the pullup bars doing physical training when he overheard rapper Big L’s song “Put it on,” which was being played by a separate group of Marines doing PT.
