When were you in combat? This Marine was protecting himself and his squad pure and simple. These animals are known to booby trap bodies and conceal weapons when wounded also. This Marine after being shot in the face and watching his buddy die from a booby trapped body the day before was taking no chances and did the right thing to protect himself and his squad. He had no idea the guys was not armed and took no chances and was right to do it.

This kind of Monday morning quarterbacking burns me up. I am sickened by liberals and even those who should know better second guessing our guys on the battlefield and applying domestic peacetime rules of engagement to the battlefield and making judgments they have no business making!

That reporter should be arrested and tried for treason for aiding and abetting the enemy!

Why? For filming events as they happened?
