I saw Larry King interview the marine last week, he said he just did what his CO told him to do. But there was no indication that the flag idea originated at any higher level than that. At least, the marine sure didn't know of any. He seemed like the stereotypical jarhead following orders. It just seemed like an impromptu act. dan c.
