Ex-Marine Andrew McLaren, for instance, said: "We represented the Corps in a positive light....We would never sell out our fellow Marines for 15 minutes of fame."
Ex-Marine Elliot Ruiz said, "[The movie] means a lot to me. First of all, it's Marine Corps. I almost died for the Marine Corps. So everything I do, I want to be sure I represent the Marine Corps in the correct way."
All of the EX-Marines in this film whored themselves, and betrayed their brothers, just to be in a sleezy Leftist movie. If you run into them somewhere, you now know their story.
For those not paying attention, the first hearing in the Haditha Marine Article 32s concluded with the investigating officer reporting that there was no evidence of murder.
The Haditha Marines will be cleared in court, but never truly exonerated. The ex-Marines who helped make this movie are part of the reason why justice will never be done.
Muslims Insurgents, on the other hand, use children as shields and suicide bombers. That to a American is reprehensible. They do not love children as we do, they are a means to end.
Red I caught that article this morning on my daily
“haditha” news search. I only made it past the first couple of paragraphs before I started with the dry heaves...
Thanks for putting this together, Red.
This asshat Barney Broomfield is nothing more than a leftwing moonbat antiwar liberal with dollar signs in his eyes. He’s looking to make a buck off the blood of our Marines and other service men and women and the ex-Marines playing in the movie are not much better.
The only thing the insurgents “provide” their wives and children is a belt laden with explosives.
Thank you for the ping RR.
You idiot.
They want to achieve martyrdom by slaughtering innocent people. Not once have I heard of a prospective Jihadi saying that he was doing this for the compensation, you moron. I'm sure a Jihadi appreciates it, though, when somebody like Saddam gives a suicide bomber widow(er) some money.
“usually for financial reasons, going out and fighting a rich man’s war.”
Major barf-a-roni alert needed!
“...these are just young kids who are, usually for financial reasons, going out and fighting a rich man’s war...”
Ya, well, some didn’t join for the $. My Marine didn’t.
From Camp Pendleton, Nov 13, 2004:
“Oh yeah, well it’s kinda like this... I was supposed to leave like, 2 or 3 weeks ago, but oddly enough my battallion forgot to buy a plane ride to Iraq.... or anywhere else for that matter (yes, for some odd reason they wanted to put us on a civilian flight with M16A2’s and A4’s in a Tupperware container...brilliant).
We were invited to the ball [Ed: the Marine Corps Ball], but considering the 9 of us from Charlie company were supposed to be in the sandbox months ago with the rest of our boys, we declined. Meanwhile, the guys in Fallujah are kicking ass and taking names, leveling the place with 3-round bursts and AT4’s.... While all we can do is watch CNN and wonder how much more the Marine Corps can ram up our asses.... I mean, what could be a better birthday present than getting turn loose with a crap load of ammunition and an entire town?
There’s still the possiblility that I will get sent by myself to one of C co’s other platoons, since that’s what my paperwork says, but the NCO’s with me now don’t intend to send me on my own to a new platoon that’s been there 3 months already, even if it is a quieter part of the country.
It’s funny, I signed up to be one of the First to Fight, to go to a place like Fallujah... here I am in california where nobody wants anything to do with the 9 of us stragglers, continually getting reamed while my buddies in the guard come and go to the sandbox.
I joined to shoot things and blow them up, not PT 4 or 5 times a week with 3 different companies because nobody really knows why the 9 of us are still here or who we belong to.
By the time this whole adventure is over, I’ll have more amazing stories about this place than Iraq; 1st CEB, otherwise known as the Career Ending Batallion.
Anyways, if I EVER make it across the atlantic in time to get a combat action ribbon or something, I’ll be in touch with you guys. Til then, keep me in your prayers, because I don’t think my ass can stretch any wider... it hurts... and they don’t use lube... ow..... “
Anyway, who is this filmmaker guy, and why does he feel qualified to wade in on what happened at Haditha? I could see it if it was his son who got popped. Otherwise, who needs his opinion? I don’t get the feeling he’s objective; why the surprise at Marines being regular guys?
I am so angry I could spit tacks. What the— Who the— Why the—
See, I just better leave it there. I am bound to say words that haven’t crossed my lips for a long time, and I really hate the taste of soap.
I am just going to pray that people involved in this fiction have a change of heart. That is the best thing I can do.
And as always, many prayers for our brave troops, especially on this Independence Day!
**muttering as she walks away** Insurgents just want to provide for their wives and kids—BAAHH!
