The MSM is dead. It died of a lingering cancer that was painful to all who came in contact with it.

Bump. May a special place in hell be reserved for the America hating media.

I am a Marine currently doing his second tour in Iraq. These are my opinions and mine alone. They do not represent those of the Marine Corps or of the US military, or any other.

Actually son, the do represent those of very many of us.

The media is doing it's job....as they see it.

Denigrating our brave heroes

Denigrating those who believe in values and do their best to live those values.

Trashing the military is part of their self appointed duty.

A pox on them all.

Yes. They represent the views of nearly everyone that I know. Even the DemocRATs that I know are incredulous that this Marine is being treated so shabbily. God bless America, and God bless our military. And as an ex-sailor, though it galls me to say it... especially bless the United States Marine Corps. Semper Fi, jarheads.

When you cant trust the surrendering, the dead, or the dying... to not blow you and your corpsman up...as their last act on earth...then the only avenue left to you is recon by fire...



God Bless our troops

I would have done the exact same thing. Without one ounce of remorse once the enemy was found to be unarmed...guilt by association? you bet but my comrades in arms and I live to fight another day.
