AMEN!
This sentence implies that the dead guy was a civilian, which he was not. Must have been inadvertantly worded poorly by the journalist.
Since when has the Foreign Mob had a place at the Table of Military Justice. I'm sorry this will not go down well but I have faith in the examination conducted by the Military and support their decision. Sounds like she might prefer a bad version of the UN World Court to try these incidents.
If they charged that Marine, that would be the least of their concerns. You just can't second guess a man in that situation and you damn sure don't want them second guessing themselves.
No, what is too graphic to show is a terrorist cutting off someone's head!
"He's dead now."
Good!
Rotten MSM!
it will not go over well here.
well guess what terrorist scum, missing twin towers,
damaged pentagon, plane down in Pa., and beheadings don't go over too well here.
"..a wounded, un-armed Iraqi, shot to death by a U.S. Marine."
Did anyone confirm this insurgent was even still alive when he was shot?
I think that would be something that would have to be confirmed before murder charges could even be considered. I have never heard they confirmed he was actually killed by the Marine`s gunshot.
I am glad to hear they dropped the charges against this guy.
"And investigators are still conducting ballistics tests to determine how the other insurgents in the mosque were killed."
What do you think this means ???? They are still trying to get someone I guess.
Yay!!! so glad to hear this .
Give him a medal instead! The guy deserves it just for all the bs he's had to take over the matter.
Good news.
Now, if Rumsfeld would kick the lawyers out of Iraq and Afghanistan and let the military do the job, those like Capt. Maynulet would not be being courtmartialled too.
They were "well killed"!! Stop second-guessing our troops. This is a fr%$g'in war we are fighting.....
Stupid Clinton appointed PC bastard Generals!
Great job by this Marine!
Plus the FACT that I believe the previous day - the Marine had lost a pal of his from the same type of incident. The terrorist was rigged with a bomb and his friend was blown up in front of him and the guys's blood splattered on him.
In lieu of those FACTS - I'd say the Marine's reaction was not only normal .. but he was determined that no other Marine was going to get blown up the same way.
I total concur - NO CHARGES.
And .. as for the man in the mosque - even if he was not shooting at our soldiers - what the heck was he doing in the mosque with the shooters? His presence there leads me to believe he was aiding the men who were shooting - so I have no sympathy for the guy.
