Where did you get "routinely?" Did I type "routinely?" I said, GOOD FOR THEM.....even if they made it up.
I DID NOT suggest that any of this is routine.
End of story.
The previous Marine being pilloried by Kevin Sites did what he should have done. He did what he had to do. If that first "insurgent" had in fact had a grenade, there would be no questions, and all would've moved on.
If another platoon came across a similar situation, or even if they made up or enhanced a situation to make it obvious to folks that their brother had done the right thing, THEN GOOD FOR THEM. Whether it really happened this way, I don't care. I'm proud of them. If you don't like it, take a leap.

My, my what a sweetheart you are! My question was meant to be a serious one: are you in a position to know that the military routinely makes things up. There was no intent to plant the word "routinely" into your statement. My point stands. Unless you can substantiate that the military makes things up to help public opinion along, you should not imply that this story may have been "enhanced."
