Gen. Kurt Stein, director of Marine and Family Programs, made the remarks April 6 before an audience estimated at hundreds of civilian employees and Marines at their base in Quantico, Va., according to three people who attended the all-hands meeting last week. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they said they feared retaliation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Marine Corps Times, again;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The allegations that Stein disparaged, first reported by USA TODAY in February, involved two civilian employees who said a Marine officer had made several sexual overtures to them. The allegations initially were deemed unfounded, but the Marine Corps Commandant, Gen. Robert Neller, ordered a new investigation of the claims in March.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Marine Corps Times reports that Marine Brigadier General Kurt W.
