An innocent video from the war in Afghanistan triggered an event in the US Marine Corps that would change the life of the Marines shown on YouTube. The new book Into Infamy is Staff Sergeant Joe Chamblin's account of the men and Marines behind the video and what they accomplished in the War on Terror. Remembered for the video, for the first time anywhere Staff Sergeant Chamblin tells his story of the brave young men who've been so vilified by the media and their superiors when they should have been honored for the trail blazing work they performed as Marine Snipers in combat. They were so effective as snipers, introducing new tactics to the battlefield and killing nearly three hundred enemy combatants that the Commandant of the Marine Corps held a private breakfast for Chamblin's teams, along with the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps. Read their story and how everyone suddenly forgot their accomplishments when a seconds long video appeared on YouTube. These men are victims of, yes, a their own 17 second lapse in judgment ... but more importantly the political correctness that is destroying America.

Joe Chamblin was born in Florida and raised in southern Ohio where he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at age 18. He served 15 years in the Marines and almost 10 of those as a Scout Sniper. He is a veteran of action in Albania in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan. He also served in a handful of other countries while serving with various units during his time in the Corps. While on his last deployment to Afghanistan with 3rd Battalion 2d Marines in 2011 his Scout Sniper Platoon delivered a devastating toll on the enemy, inflicting well over 300 enemy KIA and numerous other casualties. It was on this deployment is also where the YouTube video was taken. Joe was the leader of the team involved and one of the Marines in the infamous "Marine Urination Video Scandal". He has now broken his silence in order to ensure his Marines entire stories are told. Stories of his men's courage, sacrifice and heroism that has become unjustly over shadowed by a 39 second video. The men of 3rd Battalion 2d Marines Scout Sniper Platoon deserve for the world to know the rest of their story.
