Our view: Italian criticism of tactics misplaced, as is foolish Pentagon dissembling
International critics are wrong to brand U.S. Marines as war criminals because troops have used incendiary weapons in combat. Almost as wrong are the Pentagon spokespeople who undermine our Marines by denying or otherwise trying to hide this fact of warfare.
As reported Sunday by North County Times reporter Darrin Mortenson, there is an Internet campaign that accuses U.S. forces of using chemical weapons in Iraq in violation of international law. The accusations are bunk, but their profile was raised two weeks ago by a documentary aired on Italy's state-run television broadcast network.
Regular, or Extra Crispy?
I like the idea of using pig grease every way possible. Maybe it could be served as a gravy over any food for detainees. Bullets don't need elaboration.
If the "pogue" is assigned to an infantry unit, the pogue performs both infantry functions and admin functions when the unit deploys overseas.
The "pogue" is not desk bound or excused from his infantry responsibilities in USMC ground combat units, he will operate in the field, just like any other rifleman.
In reality the pogue is pulling double duty, no place for slacker or shitbird.
Perfect!!
ROFL!! Ok, sorry, but you cracked me up with that!!
Grateful to note that at 26 posts I have not seen one armchair quarterback on this thread. Must be a dang record! LOL
Perhaps they're busy preparing for the Thanksgiving holiday.
