Marines killing an INNOCENT Terrorist!
/rant on
You know its funny. When the media gets bored with a story they seem to grasp onto anything they can. So last week it was all about the battle in Fallujah. Then as the week pressed up it was about whom the President was going to replace Ashcroft with. Then the weekend pressed on and nothing was really new. We had 100% of Fullujah occupied, but only subdued!! Then Colin Powell decides to resign, yippee! Then we have today. Oh just another day in media land! WRONG! We get headlines about "the possibility of another Abu Gharib". A Marine shoots an innocent Insurgent, yes you heard it I-N-N-O-C-E-N-T! F*ck him and f*ck the media! Those motherf*ckers have been using their fellow dead friends as traps for those boys! They say "take this grenade and when that western devil comes, blow them all up!" What we see in the media is some Marines go into a building and they see some dead body's of Terrorists left from the day before and a few live ones. What you don't know is how these Marines have been sweeping countless houses and almost getting their asses blown up because some f*ck face decided to pull the pin of a grenade and trying to take out anyone he could. So, you think the Marines are a little worried? I mean sh*t, those Marines could of just swept a house before and someone was trying to pretend to be dead and began to pull the pin from underneath himself and BOOOM! So we get this footage and a Marine says he is faking to be dead. He see's him clearly moving. Yeah, now what, let him move some more? Should we give him first aid when the house or two before a guy tried the same thing and killed one of your buddies?
F*ck that!
72 Virgins to you mother f*cker!
You media f*cks who want to burn those Marines are not worth the sweat off my......just go f*ck yourself! The rest of you, why are you not being the devils advocate?

Major monuments, or religious items, are usually considered as protected items. This is because both sides in the war have agreed to protect these items.
The primary method of protecting the civilian population, is by enforcing a strict rule of wearing a military uniform. When every single person in the military (on both sides) in is uniform, it is easy to protect innocent civilians.
When thugs and criminals violate the basic "Gentleman's Agreement", then they have forfeited those implied protections.
