Pentagon's COIN bombshell ticking away in Afghanistan

This week, a bombshell wrapped in an SOS landed on the desk of the inspector general at the Department of Defense in the Pentagon.

The SOS was a legal complaint from attorney Mark I. Waple. It called for an investigation into whether the Marine Corps was attempting to drive Waple’s client, Marine Corps Maj. Fred C. Galvin, from the service through what is known as a board of inquiry.
