using a platoon of Marines to mess with US civilian workers at one of the bases. At gun point. With dogs.
Bad things happen in a war zone. I do not believe it was indicated that the contractor's behavior was causal.
Eagle Eye was over there for a couple of years doing a job and reporting back to FR. He's not anti-American by any stretch of the imagination, or anti-military or anti-Marine. He has reported simply on what he has seen and experienced.
Not the best of timing to bring up the negative experiences regarding the Marines I will grant you...and it is understandable why Marines and their kin would take exception to it on this thread...but that does not mean what he said was not accurate, just out of place on this thread perhaps.
In his post 450 he said it was not his intent to "go after the marines". I know for a fact that if the SHTF he would welcome them there covering his six.
Believe it or not, you are on the same side and probably agree on 95% of issues is my guess. The real enemy wants to see us all dead.
Just my two cents...I'm out.
