My understanding from press accounts is that the Marines in the field are rallying to his cause in a major way. They are not second-guessing him. They are standing should to shoulder with their comrade. One Marine staff seargent was quoted today as saying that he would have put two slugs in the jihadist. But, I guess, those men are just not "upholding the finest traditions of the Corps."

Agreed. We can't allow the naysayers and second guessers to turn this into another My Lai and William Calley. The glass half empty group needs to be brought under submission. They're looking for any thing they can use to get their foot in the door and bring about another end like we had in Vietnam. We can't let their voices be heard over our own.

We weren't there, it's not up to us to "second guess"
this incident. The Corps will investigate. Calls to frag
this reporter etc are out of line.

Personally, I stand with the marine, but Poobah is right
about all these calls for action against the reporter just
because some folks don't like what is happening.

Marines don't get a pass, just cause there's a war on,
and neither should reporters.

All we can do is follow this, and pray for justice.
