Marine accused of wrongful shooting needs our help...
16 nov 04 | Atlanta

Posted on 11/16/2004 4:34:34 AM PST by Atlanta

I'm going to start with a communication of support of this young Marine, to the Commandant of the Marine Corps himself. Then, President Bush and my Senator/Congressman.They are going to hear from me and I have all friggin day to do it. I am so livid about this that words cannot describe. As a former Marine myself, this young "Leather" was doing what he was trained to do, adapting to unreasonable circumstances (enemy tricks) and he did exactly what I would have done and what has always been done with a fanatical enemy. If authorities hang this Marine out to dry, I will never stop raising hell and will become a point man for pulling these guys out of theater entirely...MSM is SICK. Other suggestions?

Welcome aboard, I agree wholeheartedly, and will keep you in mind for future local FReep events (I've organized and led two in the area, in the last few years).

why didn't Sites hand the tape over to the proper military authorities?

That the question of the day of course. Brian Kilmead on Fox&Friends says that Reuters was given the tape. He was incredulous and even made a comment pointing out Reuters anti-American bias.

Turning the tape over to the proper authorities doesn't get you a promotion.


He's a really "Girlie Man" !!!

Wikipedia that labels Iraqi terrorists an Iraq resistance is not accountable, it is a site cloaked with neutrality while truth is that it is hijacked by radical liberals, faking neutrality in the manner of dirty French.

This is a quote by Sites on 10/10 and I’m sure things have improved as the conflict has intensified.

“The Marines know they are being hunted. Boxed from the east and the west in a treacherous kill zone by an enemy they can feel -- but can't see. Their superior firepower is checked by the insurgent's knowledge of the city -- their cunning in using blind alleyways and the crooks and crannies of buildings to pick off the Marines.”

Sites has earned the honor of burial near a mosque, symbolically very important to Muslims, the sooner the better.

Damage has been done. The Quislings have been waiting for a story like this. Just think if this happened during the Presidential campaign.

If Kerry had ball #1, he'd come out in defense of this Marine.

On the other hand, the story is already out there, and stirring the pot will keep bringing it to the top -- not good for the young marine or for our military. Publicity and pressure destroyed CBS and Dan Rather on the document story because the documents were frauds. This story is true, albeit one-sided (like Abu Graib.)

Agree with you wholeheartedly. What the f is the media doing letting this type of stuff out. This is war, not a game of tag. These soldiers are fighting TERRORISTS, not insurgents, not men in military uniforms fighting by some accepted terms of engagement. These terrorist are firing on our soldiers, the good guys, from inside religious buildings, faking injury or death to then take out as many of the good guys as possible. They are planting explosives on dead bodies. These terrorist should receive no quarter. Get the f'n embeds outta there - now.

And may I ask a stupid question, if enemy combatants are pretending to be dead or wounded to draw troops in and then blow everyone up, what the heck is the procedure for dealing with that? I don't need or want to know what it is, but I'm presuming we have one? Right?

I have to say the media does not seem to being "going after" him as hard as I thought they would. For instance, they are reporting that a Marine was killed by a booby trap on a dead body the day before.

The strategery is that we demonize the MSM and take the heat off the Marine.
