Their lives depend on the other guy watching their back. You are fucking naive if you think they are going to publicly denounce him
I understand Marine mentality, I served with many of them. I sweat and bled next to marines. They are supposed to watch each other's back, but that does not extend into when one of them fucks up. You back up your buddies when you're in the field, in the gym, on the street, and most everywhere else. However you don't back someone up when they execute a wounded prisoner. You don't blindly back up your buddies regardless of what they do.
