"written with the French journalist..." (stop!)

That is all that needs to be said.

The thing is, even though I disagree with McCain politically on a slew of issues, I don't necessarily find him to be an abhorrent person.

I'm not certain that I consider McCain to be abhorrent,but there can be no doubt that he has more than a few screws loose.I think the same thing might be true of this Marine,and for pretty much the same reason.

In Brooklyn, that's not even apartmentcide in some places!

On November 14, he received the verdict that his would be "a medical retirement."

I wonder if he has the integrity to turn down his med-retirement check? I am certain he won't be applying for SSDI? < /sarcasm >

He needs to spend a few hours with his ex-compatriots. Those honorable Marines could more than likely cure his PTSD.

Say no more! Cowardly French!

"Jimmy Massey"

Is this maggot still in France?

He needs to stand in front of his troops and make his case, so they can rightfully bury his a$$!

Of course there are atrocities in Iraq, except it's the Iraqi's commiting them!! they are killing our soldiers & Marines and they must be killed for it.

Actually, it is not unheard of for a brief but extremely violent and traumatic firefight lasting no more than a few minutes or hours, to have very profound and long lasting effects...

My problem is not with the brevity of his tour, but with the unbelievable charges he is making against his brother Marines....

Thank you for the clarification. I read "I participated in killings of..." and also "...investigated but not substantiated..." and figured there was more of an angle to his story.

His angle is dollars....or francs...wait what do the frogs use for money? Is it euros now? Either way, he wants to be compensed, and that is all. For his lies, and for bashing his own country, former unit and personnel, and the USMC.

Disgraceful, on many levels.

[BnBlFlag]

He is an embarrassment to himself and a disgrace to the Marine Corps.

Are you trying to tell me that this Marine went through what McCain went through?

[ryan71]

Oh, that's nice! I like how the tower just flops over! Cool!

“Mr. Massey made allegations of genocide by members of his command, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines, resulting in an investigation...”

If Mr. Massey made allegations of genocide based on this, he has no idea what genocide is. If the U.S. wanted to commit genocide in Iraq we would have been finished with it two years ago.

That seems unlikely.But what *did* he experience? Certainly a lot more that I have.How about you?

[ShadowDancer]

I've never been in combat, not in the military sense, no. But I have gone through enough and never used that as an excuse to promote myself or dishonor the good that has come from the bad. I'm sorry, I don't agree with this at all.
