I was listening to Hannity and Chombs last night and was shocked to hear the figures of how many of our soldiers have died due to booby trapped bodies. I think it was something like 125, some just the day before this incident.

Hannity made me a little angry, he felt very sorry for the boy, but said if he is found guilty he should be punished. I just don't agree with that given the circumstances.

I can see were keeping discipline enters into the treatment of prisoners, but this situation was a circle moose tap dance.

No one informed the grunts "retaking" the mosque that there were injured terrorists inside waiting for transport to medivac. After being injured the previous day and being up for 24 hours the kid made a split second decision, the MSM can get off his back or find us on theirs.

We need to withdraw from the Geneva Convention, our enemies sure don't uphold it, and it puts our boys at disadvantage.

Amen Pie. Wanna reach far back in memory and tell me the last time one of our enemies treated our young men in accordance with the Geneva Conventions?

Who? The Iraqi's? Vietnamese? Chinese? Russians? Koreans? Germans? Japanese? They've all tortured young Americans.

I back this young Marine 100%. Shoot first and ask questions later if in ANY doubt!

Maybe he shoulda beheaded the monster. The press woulda been asbolutely silent then, or hell, even taken his side!

Godspeed and God Bless AMERICA!
