The rules of engagement are totally different in wartime and in police matters.

I am dissapointed this is even an issue. The military needs to get a handle on the press in war zones.

The guy does not deserve a medal but I don't care if the guy was innocent or not. He knew exactly what to expect staying in a war zone in the first place. When are people going to figure this out. If it was your son who's side would you be on?

>>The case of the Marine shooting in Fallujah pits a young warrior in the clutch of terror and nanosecond judgment against the Monday-morning quarterbacking of theoretical second-guessers<<

This sentence sums up my feelings about the whole WMD discussion, too. And you can throw in a half-dozen other aspects about war-related issues (Tora Bora, troop size, first Fallujah confrontation, others).

There are nothing but Monday-morning QBs on the Left. (More like Wednesday-morning QBs.)

there is a site that has a petition which now has over 100,000 signatures of fellow Americans in support of this young soldier. I think it would be wonderful if people added their signatures and voices to send to the congress in support of this marine and all those fighting for the united states.

The Marine did the seethead a favor; getting him to his 72 virgins expeditiously.
