If Kerry were in they would still be trying to crucify this guy... afterall this is the "wrong war at the wrong place at the wrong time"... remember? Oh and it's ALL BUSH'S FAULT! (silly me, how can I forget that???)
Roger that. Just another vote here, among the great many others.
We cannot allow this to become some story about this Marine. This story is about all of them or none of them. It's time to decide which it is.
We will do whatever it takes.
"This story is about all of them or none of them. It's time to decide which it is."
Very well said, Ramius.
"Bravo!!!!!
Well said!!!!!
God bless our brave troops."
No thanks necessary. My family has offered 'military sacrifice" for 1,000 years or more...cowards are less than vermin...
The young Marine was doing his duty, and nothing better can be said about him: He was protecting us, AND the right of said troll to vomit on FR.
That will not, however, change the fact that this young man did the RIGHT THING!
I'm with you, Marine.
Semper Fi
I'm here
To all our troops - we are forever grateful for your protection and service. We stand with you and for you. Thank you.
The Marine did the right thing. He protected himself and his fellow Marines. The gutless wonders in the MSM who would root for Satan himself over the US military are soiling themselves with glee over this story, but the backlash seems to be incredible. The more they push this story and attempt to try and convict this Marine, the higher the price the MSM will pay.
Stick it out, Marine! This investigation, and in fact history, will show that ANYthing you do to a terrorist, wounded or not, is an act of self-defense.
Thank you for your service, and as others have said here, count me as one who will join the thousands in your support.
To the young and noble warrior now caught in troubles thanks to lack of understanding:
We stand with you, even if we risk only our reputation in the eyes of those who, sitting with us in safety, second-guess and criticize you who risk your life to ensure that safety.
We stand with you, understanding the dangers you faced even though it is not our lot to share them.
We stand with you, knowing the nature of our enemies, who even when healthy will make themselves into guidance system for bombs, destroying themselves in their hatred for us and you and freedom.
We stand with you, raising our voices in indignation at those who would condemn you for rightly judging that even a wounded enemy driven by such blind hatred and the spirit of self-destruction posed a mortal danger to you and your companions.
We stand with you, knowing that it is precisely because our enemies have no regard for the norms of civilized warfare that we have been obliged to wage this war.
We stand with you, lamenting perhaps that our enemies are as they are, that actions, which in wars between civilized nations might be seen as dishonorable, are necessary as a matter of life and death.
We stand with you, praying that God will deliver you from danger and from the hand of those of our countymen who would persecute you.
May God bless you and your family abundantly, and bring the blessings of peace on you and us and all for whom you fight, both here in America and in Iraq.
Amen.
Amen! We've got your back and God bless!!
Hopefully it won't come to this but does anyone know if there is a legal fund being set up? His JAG lawyer will be top notch but he might need to set up a team.
I think Mike Savage is looking into setting up one. Hannity might to. Limbaugh should as well.
You have my full support son. God bless you all.
The left shows again that it was lying through its teeth when it said it supports our troops. The very first chance the media has to stab our soldiers in the back, they do so by playing the tape about as often as we saw the clown on the box in Abu Ghrab. EVERY news network that repeatedly aired this, including Fox's Shepherd Smith, ought to be deluged with scorching emails and calls on this. It's easy for these blow-dried cowards to criticize someone who's been fighting a week without sleep and in the case of this Marine, was shot in the face the day before this incident. I'm sick of this.
