I'm hoping this is a smart Marine who will tell his interrogators he thought the terrorist was death in order to gain advantage.

The marine did his job. If he is "interrogated" or maligned in any way what does that say to the other troops? Are they going to be second guessed in every combat situation? IMHO, the marine will be returned to duty quickly with no further mention of this .

Rules of engagement have cost this country dearly in precious treasure... the lives of our sons and daughters. The terrorist scum and their supporters didn't sign on to the Geneva Convention. War is hell.

Get the media out of the combat areas.

Support our troops.
