We'd better look at the outcome of the work that our military is trained to do - who cares if they can score 5 3point baskets from midcourt.

Hmmmmmmmmmm

[William of Orange]

[William of Orange]

Please use original titles.
Thanks.

Some people are only alive, because they aren't worth the price of a round.

[Rudder]

I'm glad the general has a good measure of job satisfaction. What say you, stranger?

[Viking2002]

Hey, he looks good in horns.......

I wouldn't mind plugging a few of those wife beating child molesting animals myself.

Please elaborate.

I had a lot of fun blasting the enemy to smithereens in Nam with 5" precision naval gunfire.

,i.I wouldn't mind plugging a few of those wife beating child molesting animals myself.

Or how about that horrid couple that starved and beat their children. The 14 year old twin boys only weighed 38 pounds! Wouldn't mind shooting them...first the kneecaps, then the thighs......and so on!

[MadAnthony1776]

The military is there to protect the country and preserve the peace. When that fails then they are trained to make the enemy pay the ultimate price for his country. Better them than us.

[TADSLOS]

All in a days work for the USMC. People who are too squeamish to accept that reality don't deserve to be protected.

[JCRoberts]

NO! What the hell does this Dr.'s post even mean? What is with the three pointers reference?

Some People Just Need Killing™.

I'll donate those rounds, personally, d.

[Publius6961]

General counseled after he says...

Just a variant of "Some people need killing".
Nothing new here.
Or "Wanted, dead or alive".

And I believe that the only torture at aby Ghraib is letting the animals live instead of shooting them upon capture.

Anybody want to recomment counseling for me? Or force me to go take some? Lotsa luck!

[watchdog_writer]

We know that the liberal media doesn't like anyone in the military. So what else is new? The answer I would give is: He got the job done and there were democratic elections in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now that's fun!

Killing the enemy and destroying tactical and strategic targets. If you don't enjoy your work, why do it? Be gone troll.
