The USMC have thanked WWE & Vince McMahon for removing Randy Orton from his role in the Marine: Homefront following his issues during his time in the Corps.

Cpl. Mike Vinn told TMZ; “On behalf of all the Marines from Aco 1/4 98-02, that were outraged to hear about Randy Orton portraying a Marine in the next movie “Marine: Homefront”, I’d like to thank the WWE for pulling Orton from the role when they heard about his disloyal service to the United States Marine Corps. It shows respect for not only the unit I had served in, but for every person that has ever defended this nation.  Thank you WWE.”

All in all it seems like a shrewd move on WWE’s behalf to remove Randy from the role as any condemnation from the United States Marine Corps could have completely sabotaged this upcoming motion picture.

As always, keep it locked here for all the latest on this, including any news on who will replace Orton in the leading role of WWE Studios upcoming project The Marine: Homefront.
