ALLAHU FUBAR!
I'm sure the scoundrel Sites is bummed that he was unable to ruin the life and career of this young Marine.
Good news!
Hip hip hooray!
This is absolutely the correct outcome in this case.
bump for a later read.
About time. This'll get big air play. I'm sure it'll be Katy Colon's lead story in the morning.
I'm so sick of the liberal media.
Justice was served. A young Marine's service is exonerated!
Great! If it turned out differently I am sure there would be one hell of an outcry. How can people, not going through what they have to, be so foolish to think they are just shooting poor Iraqis up. Those men where the day before trying to kill Marines, they where the enemy. And they could have have had concealed explosives on them or laying on a bomb ready to be detonated. How can anyone viewing that tape think the Marine was in the wrong is beyond me. If he did not shot them, and one set of a IED, and some of his buddies where injured or killed he would never have lived it down. They got a tough job.
Any other outcome and you would have a real serious problem asking soilders to go fight.
This is a war and these guys have to be able to use their judgement to ensure their safety.
A enemy who is playing dead and who are know to not play by any rules themselves gets shot real fast.
"A Marine corporal who was videotaped shooting an apparently injured and unarmed Iraqi in a Fallujah mosque last year will not face a court-martial, the Marine Corps announced Wednesday."
GOOD.
Outstanding!! The Corp got it right on this one.
You know we probably would not have heard of the story if the Marine got shot by the "dead" terrorist.
Outstanding!
Here's Kevin Sites' email. His blog doesn't look like it's been active lately:
kevin@kevinsites.net
Excellent news! Thank you for posting it.
No probably to it. The MSM would have passed the footage around amongst themselves and shown it at parties though.
Thank God.
This Marine did his duty. Period.
Thanks for the ping!
