An investigation report sheds light on a 2020 incident that saw a two-star Marine Corps general relieved of his command overseeing Marine forces in Europe and Africa.

In October 2020 Maj. Gen. Neary was relieved of his post after the Marines accused him of using a "full N-word" while listening to rap music in his headquarters in Germany. The allegations were reported by Stars and Stripes.

The report from the Inspector General of the Marine Corps shows exactly what Neary told them.

How Well Do the Army's New Guns Work? That is classified, but soldiers will carry more weight.

Neary told the Marine that he heard eight Marines listening to a song on the morning of July 22, 2020. Neary walked over to the Marines for a more detailed talk after the group finished their workout.

The subject of disagreement between the Marines and Neary is what was said during this more detailed talk.

According to one Marine, Neary told the group that the full n-word should never be used and that it was a word of hate.

According to that Marine, Neary told the group that it was their generation that was burning buildings down and starting protests after the murder of George Floyd.

The Marine's account said that he said, "Go ahead and call HR, I am the head of HR."

Four other Marines were interviewed by investigators. According to the report, each Marine's account of the general's comments included the allegation that Neary used a racial slur two times, used the phrase "you people" in a manner that offended them, and made reference to being.

Neary said that he did utter a racial slur when speaking to subordinates, but that he did so for clarity and to not use it again.

The report said that Neary denied using the phrase "you people" or saying anything to the Marines about HR. Neary told an official whose name is blacked out in the released document that he probably said something like that when he was asked about the remark.

All five Marines who were there for the talk gave testimony and expressed disbelief that Neary chose to utter the full word instead of using the n-word.

Neary held a meeting with his noncommissioned officers in which he read a prepared statement and tried to answer questions. Neary did not admit that his use of a racial slur was wrong, but he defended his use by saying it was acceptable as a teaching moment.

According to the report, several Marines who went to this meeting said that Neary's apology was not sincere and that he wanted to cover his butt.

The inspector general found that Neary violated the requirement of exemplary conduct that was expected of him, though the general disagreed.

Neary criticized the quality of the investigation and the report, highlighted what he described as factual inaccuracies in the report, and alleged conflicts of interest from officials and investigators.

Military.com asked the Marine Corps about Neary's current status but did not receive a reply.

Neary held the post of commander of Marine Forces Europe and Africa until Nov. 3, 2020, when Maj. Gen. Langley took over. In a change of command ceremony, Tracy King took over the position.
