I am going to give this Marine the benefit of the doubt and say God bless him. If his squad mates trust him I am not going to denigrate him for being a Mulim.

By the way, me and my security team stayed on top of the Haditha Dam a couple of nights. The Marines there were very helpful and shared what they had with us. Quite a peaceful place. Used to stand there and look out over the countryside, smoke my cigar and enjoy a peaceful moment. It is a dangerous area too, lots of IEDs.

A good friend of mine named Mike, a Brit, was ambushed by a mob of 300 or so locals not too far from the dam. His vehicle got stuck when he tried to turn around and he was shot and killed, he killed eight of the attackers. I hope Mike is with God, a good friend, and I miss him.

Bless you as well for serving.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not denigrating him because he's Muslim. I am quite happy he loves our country enough to serve. But ....I want to mention that you cannot always trust people (not him I'm talking about)who say one thing, but do another. There are some folks like that. And actions speak louder than words.

This guy proves that he loves the US. And speaks highly of our leaders. So that's saying something. :)
