I’m running around in front of my computer right now looking for a sand goblin to strangle. These stories get me so worked up. Reading about the actions and death of these incredible warriors is like listening to the melancholic howl of wolves, it tugs at my entire being, sparking an involuntary bloodlust. I guess I’m just gonna have to settle for a hippie.

To hear our men worried of
our media angers me to no end.
But also the Lt. commanding the force voted to let the goat herders go.
This is another example of why there is no slander our media can perpetrate that would ever change my view of our fighting soldiers as the most honorable and valiant soldiers ever fielded to do battle.
And why our cause against the forces of darkness will eventually be triumphant.
We are the side of good and let those that doubt be destroyed.

Thanks for the ping. Marcus Luttrell sounds like a heck of a man.
War forces terrible decisions on young men.
May Marcus find peace and comfort as he continues to live the life he deserves and be able to tell these stories as an old man. Young men, then, will need to hear them.

gotta kill em all, otherwise we’re just suckin wind.
I realized that at the end of GW1. Saddam got absolutely lit up - Highway to Hell.
He goes back to Iraq and is hailed as a hero...not because he fought the Great Satan, but because he survived.
More and more I believe the only policy should be scorched earth.
It’ll never happen.

There are moments in some lives when the decision is between awful and God awful.
No matter what this young man and his unit had decided to do, he would have had nightmares and regrets. That is the nature of war.

If they voted on it, it's because HE let them vote on it, isn't it? Why give a medal to the guy who made the mistake?Because it is the Medals of HONOR.
Not the Medal of Murder.
