Two dozen U.S. Marines have received less-than-honorable discharges following allegations that they were involved in drug-related and human trafficking crimes, according to Military.com.

The Marines, who are all members of the California-based 1st Marine Division, have been kicked out of the service following an investigation, and at least one has received a prison sentence, a spokeswoman for the unit told Military.com.
