On one hand, I am glad they corrected an factual error. On the other hand, I was sad that the 6th man wasn't a Navy Corpsman as they are held in such high regard by Marines. But in the end, this quote from the article sums it up best for me:
"General Neller said in a written statement that “although the Rosenthal image is iconic and significant, to Marines it’s not about the individuals and never has been.”
He added: “Simply stated, our fighting spirit is captured in that frame, and it remains a symbol of the tremendous accomplishments of our corps — what they did together and what they represent remains most important. That doesn’t change.”"
