I just cannot imagine what must go through a soldiers mind in critical moments. Always, that thought, way in the back, will I hang if I pull the trigger, will I die if I don't.
The Dems disgust me, but honestly, the Commander in Chief has set these rules of engagement. It pains me to say this. It just is not right.

What bothers the hell out of me is the chance that we've made these Marines the sacrificial lambs to point to after the change in strategy there has begun and we've gotten serious.

A kind of "well, we gave them to you, didn't we?" cover for the not so PC ass-kicking that we may soon start putting to AQ and the insurgents there.
