...This young soldier, from what I understand, lost buddies when they were booby-trapped under the same circumstances and he was shot in the face just a day or two earlier...

If it was a cop over here under those circumstances he'd be put on leave, right? For the very reason that when you've just been shot by the bad guy you're going to be in no mood whatsoever to get shot again or blown up or see any of your comrades shot or blown up.

The Marines ought to read these terrorists their rights, starting with "you have the right to be dead, you have the right to remain dead, you have the right to an attorney to assure you are truly dead, etc."

Exactly! That's where the mindset of the Global Infested Liberals is today. In their toy box world there is no difference between Andy Taylor and G.I. Joe except the color of their uniforms. It is a w--a--r....filled with combatants (people who are doing their very best to kill you) who do not respect any form of military code or conduct and believe it is an absolute honor to die taking as many of you and your friends with them as possible. The soldier was doing a soldier's job, give him his purple heart, give him a promotion and get the smell out of his way.

That a soldier might hesitate to do his job because he might be on film is a sick and sorry thought which we should in no way support!
