...so that should be OK, right? -- rbrwr
I removed this sentence:
What does "bawled out" mean? I'm not sure. Also, it seems as if it might be contradictory. If it means "berated"/"gave hell to", why would the fact that he yelled at recruits who DID salute him be portrayed as somehow hypocritical (in this sentence) if he DID NOT salute some of his superior officers?

It strikes me that the introduction for this isn't very helpful or informative -- I came across the article by chance and I was really none the wiser as to why Diamond was well-known, thanks partly to the use of slang like "leatherneck". However, I don't think I know enough about US military history to recast it without messing it up or offending someone; can an editor who's more knowledgeable have a go?
