Yep, and I'd feel satisfaction cuffing up a scumbag. There's good and evil. You pick a side or stay out of the fight. If you're on the sidelines you just don't get it. Bye.

Black Water Security is a private firm that runs security OPS in combat zones. They usually work for private firms for convoy security or kidnap prevention of the executives. They are almost all made up from the various SEAL teams or Ranger Units or other SpecOps folks. There is a stringent requirement for combat vets. They can make up to (get this) $2500 a DAY! However, I have never heard of any of them being in operational command of active duty marines. Mostly they're hired guns, Mercs really. However, given their backgrounds and obvious penchant for "taking charge" in a leadership vacume, I have no doubt that one just stepped up to the plate and assumed command. That's a real leader.

I hope this Marine has been recommended for a Silver Star. At the least he should be awarded a Bronze Star with Combat V.

And why is it that it is up to Ollie North to tell this War Story when is should be in our daily paper?

HARTMAN: Do any of you people know who Charles Whitman was? None of you dumba--es knows? Private Cowboy?
COWBOY: Sir, he was that guy who shot all those people from that tower in Austin, Texas, sir!
HARTMAN: That's affirmative. Charles Whitman killed twenty people from a twenty-eight-storey observation tower at the University of Texas from distances up to four hundred yards. Anybody know who Lee Harvey Oswald was? Private Snowball?
SNOWBALL: Sir, he shot Kennedy, sir!
HARTMAN: That's right, and do you know how far away he was?
SNOWBALL: Sir, it was pretty far! From that book suppository building, sir!
HARTMAN: All right, knock it off! Two hundred and fifty feet! He was two hundred and fifty feet away and shooting at a moving target. Oswald got off three rounds with an old Italian bolt action rifle in only six seconds and scored two hits, including a head shot! Do any of you people know where these individuals learned to shoot? Private Joker?
JOKER: Sir, in the Marines, sir!
HARTMAN: In the Marines! Outstanding! Those individuals showed what one motivated marine and his rifle can do! And before you ladies leave my island, you will be able to do the same thing!
