God Bless the United States Marine Corps!
The Corps exists simply to kill the enemy and to break stuff. It's really a very basic concept. Their marching cadences include lines such as, "I want to be a killing machine...a flat bellied, steely eyed, killer." Just the mention of the USMC should bring terror into the hearts of those who wish to bring harm to this country. A popular saying among Marines goes, "Mess with the best, die like the rest."
Having sad that, the Southern Spectator is disappointed in what appears to be political interference in Iraq, especially related to the U. S. Marine Corps in and around Fallujah. There has been way too much talk of cease fires and the like, and there also has been way too many news headlines such as, "U.S. Marines negotiate a 'tentative' agreement to pull back forces from Fallujah."
The Marines don't negotiate. The Marines face their enemies and eradicate them. Negotiations are not required. When you face the USMC you have gone passed the point of negotiation - you have signed your own death certificate. The next stop is the great beyond.
The Bush Administration has said that our nation "does not negotiate with terrorists," and we at the Southern Spectator take them at their word. The administration has also said that they will not interfere with the military's mission.. The administration basically consists of good people who love their country. But they need to let the Marines be the Marines and not some new version of the United Nations.
We at the Southern Spectator, with a combined 26 years military service, salute the brave men and women of the United States Marine Corps.
