A buddy of mine from Nam lost 2 medics to booby trapped wounded VC. After that, there were no wounded VC/NVA.
If you stop to think through every dangerous situation, you will get yourself and your brothers killed. You have to react or die. You see someone on the ground who is moving, you do what is necessary.
The MSM and the left do not want to 'get it'. Tabloid journalism is the norm. Trashing the US and our troops is standard.
Nothing worse than a champagne liberal who's combat exposure is limited to bouts with Laura Croft from his leather arm chair in the suburbs.
Like I said when this story first came out, until these morons in the MSM have walked in the boots of a United States Marine, I don't want to hear one GD word of criticism from anybody.
I walked point in Nam for the Fifth Marines and I can tell you it was no friggin' picnic. And I didn't go around in 1969 and 1970 checkin' ID's and taking polls as to whether to shoot the S.O.B. who was shooting at me...
I killed the BASTARDS and I haven't lost not one night's sleep over it in over 30 friggin' years.
Semper Fi,
