Late last year<\/a> we wrote about Marquie Little, a Black sailor who tore his rack up aboard the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier and claimed in social media that he was the victim of a racist attack. The Navy said that they determined that Little had staged the incident for some reason.<\/p>\n

AW1Ed sends us a link to the news<\/a> that the sailor was kicked to the curb recently;<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old sailor was kicked out of the Navy in recent weeks in connection to the incident, yet he still maintains he did nothing wrong. Little told Navy Times this week he felt \u201ca proper investigation wasn\u2019t conducted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Little agreed at one point to take a lie detector test, which investigators did not actually conduct, and provide a handwriting sample to compare to the racist scrawls, according to the investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for the handwriting analysis, an informal review of writing samples was conducted by investigators from the ship and NCIS,\u201d said Cmdr. Dave Hecht, spokesman for Naval Air Force Atlantic, or AIRLANT. \u201cThat review found there were similarities between the graffiti and the handwriting sample provided by the Sailor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Little said this week that officials told him they did not have the manpower to give him a lie detector test and full handwriting analysis.<\/p>\n

He was separated from the Navy recently on charges of making a false statement, destruction of government property and disorderly conduct in connection to the vandalism, Hecht said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
