[Vision2020] Rumours sow uncertainty in US ranks

[Tom Hansen]

I seriously doubt the accuracy of this article for many, many reasons; far
too many to explain on this posting.

I don't doubt that a news service posted it.  I simply do not belive that
this happened.  They even gave this fictional Marine a French last name.

Come on, people.
