So you've been here a couple of days. Your comment seems to pass a negative judgement on a man who has done things, and seen things I'd wager you will never see. I expect you, like me, have always had a roof over your head. You've never missed a meal. And no one has ever taken a shot at you. You have this Marine to thank for your safety and your freedom.
Note that the Marine describes a range of emotions, not just happiness. However, if all he did was feel happy at killing the man who was shooting at him and his comrades, none of us would be right to condemn him. I praise him and all of our armed forces. To Cpl. Young I say: "Son, thank you for your service, and thank God for the Marines."
This story is why every MARINE is a 0311 first. Most of you out there may not of heard of the Black Water guys. They play hard too. my Goddaughter's soon to have been husband, father of her son was Blackwater, he died on the Baghdad road a few months ago. Good Men die so that others may be Free!
