Many a fine man has passed through the ranks of the US Marine corps, Lee Harvey Oswald and charley Whitman to name a few.
The article states Chitigov was trained by the US marines in the early 1990s, sounds like a number of the Al Qaida commandos who were trained by the US Special Forces around the same time, including one of the 1993 WTC bombers.
