Piss be upon him.
Our guys are being betrayed by our own government.

Perhaps a good article but I’m not enlightened by it. Seems obvious what can happen with men at war, and why. Best that our troops naintain perfect order in extreme conditions, but reality is this stuff happens.
My father cut the ears off of the gooks he killed in Vietnam, and he eventually started keeping the ears in jars. A new guy showed up to join their group, and he gave him a couple of jars so he wouldn’t feel so different from everyone else. He said they also liked to take them up in helicopters, throw them out, and shoot them as they were falling. He don’t talk much about it, but get a couple of beers in him, and every once in awhile he loosens up.
It’s war... Awful and appalling shit happens. Stuff that shouldn’t really be talked about in wide circles on the home front.
It would be nice if all the young men we send to kill men who are trying to kill them were noble warriors who honored the fallen foe.
It would also be nice if there were no war.
In the meanwhile, maybe we can settle for them not being dumb enough to make videos.
For our nation to give more than a token apology is to grovel before a people not known for their delicacy in refusing to desecrate the dead.
MAYBE THE POOR BASTARDS WERE ON FIRE!
Jackasses in charge dump remains of our soldiers in the land fill yet give a mass-murdering goat humper a “muslim approved” burial-at-sea with honors. They have the gall to condemn our soldiers for pissing on the corpses of dead terrorists when they can’t provide our fighting men a proper burial?
If I had the opportunity I would piss on the Taliban too.
2004........they get to blame Bush again.
Those Marines need a good talking to and then a 3 day pass.
The way I see it, the resident terrorists had two options with what we were going to deal them.
Option A: Our snipers and ground troops weed out the taliban, and the taliban take their medicine with little fallout to the locals.
OR
Option B: We pack a couple of B-2’s to the max with ordinance, and bomb Fallujah right off the face of the map.
All in all, I would say the residents of Fallujah got off rather lucky.
It’s Time magazine. Who cares what they print?

Or just maybe they saw what happened to Army Rangers in Somalia.
Whatever happened to tearing off head and s******* in neck?
Shut up, dude. Just shut up. Go have a good cry somewhere.
Some time after WW II, the USA either forgot how to actually fight a war to win, or the “powers that be” chose to quit winning wars.
Korea ended in a stalemate
Vietnam ended in the US tucking tail and running
In the first Gulf War, we chose to quit before we won.
In our current “wars”, we continue to fight a “war” by tying the hands of our warriors with insane rules of engagement, catch-and-release of terrorists caught in the act, and we wonder why a handful of those warriors behave badly? I think we should be praising the 99.9999% of them who actually carry out their jobs with honor.
By no- we have to make them all out to be monsters.
I’m not interested in what a part time Marine sniper has to say as he runs down his fellow marines.
Could be a new sort of water boarding.
