The Washington Post reported that 2 U.S Marines have been restrained for posting disgraceful comments on social media regarding a female U.S soldier. It has been experienced for the first time that U.S Marine Corps have been punished officially about online misbehavior related to nude photo scandal last month. The 2 on-duty U.S Marines from 2^nd Battalion, 4^th Marine Regiment were positioned in California. The Washington Post also indicated that both Marines posted disrespectful comments regarding one of their commissioned leaders and a female Marine. Female victim had completed infantry training and both alleged Marines have reduced in rank and pay scale.

The Unit Commander, Lt. Col. Warren Cook said in a statement that U.S Marines and Sailors from 2^nd Battalion, 4^th Marine Regiment aren’t allowed for any kind of personal attack online or elsewhere on their Marines. Cook further added that this type of activities get a move in the face of our core service values and our organization rejects to ignore it. Last month, the U.S Marine Corps experienced critical scrutiny & criticism at the time when it was announced that the U.S Naval Criminal Investigative Service was found onto a Facebook group and shared U.S female servicewomen’s nude photos on the social media. It immediately started a crack down on the social media habits of the U.S soldiers regarding publishing updated guidelines. It specifically prevented various types of sexual harassment online.
