If the Marine thought the "dead" terrorist was booby-trapped or was going to try to kill him, the other marines and the journalist, then he did the right thing by killing him.

Actually, after seeing the *full* footage from the BBC link given above, I now have no problems with what our Marine did. Why? Because after our marine shoots the wounded guy, another terrorist in the room raises his hands from under a blanket and surrenders. At least one terrorist in that room **was** playing possum.

I'm sick and tired of the Lib. Media hanging our troops out to dry while they label the "insurgents" as "not bad just disagreeing with us". Just flat tired of it.

These evil animals are playing dead and then pulling the pin on a grenade, or pulling a gun at the last minute. I would have shot them too if they were pulling those types of stunts. What? You let them kill you!!? It's unbelievable that were even talking about it. Just gotta play nice nice with the terrorists.

God bless this man for putting his a** on the line for all of us and trying to protect his life and the life of the troops with him.
