"But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract"

No wonder Obama sides with this regime. They have so much in common.

Do not mock the sacrifices of US. Marines, it’s not
something we take lightly.

If we have to raise our flag over mountains of muslim
bodies, so be it.

I wouldn't say that the mural mocks the Marines (not "soldiers").

"To mock" means "to belittle, make fun of, or laugh at derisively."

The mural shows victorious U.S. troops (albeit planting a flag on what appears to be a large pile of unarmed non-combatants).

Showing our valiant troops running away scared - that would be mocking.

Regards,

The Iranians should talk; they could not even conquer the Iraqi’s an army that runs away.

I hope someday in the near future a group of Marines blows up that stupid mural and a bunch of muzzie clerics along with it.

I would say that representing US troops as murderers instead of victors is belittling.

Abe knew it well!
“The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract”

0bama and his pals can blow all the smoke the want.
Changes nothing.

It would be better if they, at a minimum, had the names correct.

The victors are UNITED STATES MARINES!

The old question is, did they get the names right?

That jamoke would not be a pimple on Joe Rosenthal’s a$$.

Yes the photographer, much less any of the participants.

IIRC one was a Navy Corpsman with the Marines.
Zero knows so little about history, he dosen’t know the name.

Moslem and noncombat are two completely opposite terms.
