Well, I’m not saying that I can’t understand why they snapped in Haditha, but isn’t calling them heroes a little over the top?
sounds like you haven’t been following the facts and truth in this case.

No one "snapped" the proof of that is that so far three have been cleared of all charges and a fourth is awaiting those charges to be dropped and this is the important part in each case the Commanding General didn't just drop the charges he also remarked upon the honor and heroism of each Marine who had been cleared for their part in this battle.
If you had bothered to read what he has said about them, you'd know that these me are heroes.
Snapped????? You must only get your news from the DemocRAT media and John Murtha who believes terrorists and their family members before even listening to what a real marine has to say. That’s a very poor ‘snap’ decision to believe propagandists and liars on your part. Murtha’s been lying for his political agenda about this case from day one. Do you remember Murtha saying there was no IED. F’ing liar!!! I’d say Murtha’s the one that ‘snapped’! Please expand your news sources so you can get a glimpse at the truth of things instead of nothing but lies.
Another Marine suffered a little.
Another Marine suffered much with a broken back and pelvis.
And the rest of these Marines?
They suffered unbelievable torment.
It's probably a good thing you weren't with these Marines that day. You might have gotten them in trouble by acting before thinking. They came home alive. You probably wouldn't have.
You need to stop typing on this thread. You know naught of which you speak.
Put the comic books away. These HEROES are not issued a cape and green tights. Hero is a title of appreciation. By your post, you don't seem to appreciate what they did and understand what they are still going through.
Snapped? You seemed to be saying you know what took place that day.
Do yourself and the rest of us a favor and don’t post on any more Haditha Marine threads until you avail yourself of the facts that have come out in the hearings that have taken place up to now. You won’t expose your ignorance again if you do.
Mr. Sharratt has every right to call SSgt Wuterich a hero in Haditha that day. His son was also in Haditha with Frank Wuterich.
Have you not heard about the pre-trials?
So far, every single soldier has been found innocent and has NOT had their case pushed forward to a court martial.
Why?
Because the investigation has found that so one was murdered. Everything was done by the book.
Have you not followed the news.
NO ONE snapped! (Except Time magazine, ABC, CNN, Congressman Murtha, and assorted Liberals.)
IBTZ?
Please explain your utterly stupid post. And an apology to Mr Sharrat would be a good idea if you want to stay as a member of this forum.

Should this misguided soul be directed somewhere that can help him retain posting privileges, or is the trend irreversable and the Viking Kitties on their way?
I say give him a chance to say “sorry” first (I have a soft heart). We can then provide a reasoned answer to his question, pre-Zot, and thereby redeem him.
Hey, I try to be an Fence at the top of the cliff, rather than an Ambulance at the bottom...

One last thought:
Research ten times
Lurk five times
Preview twice
Post once.
Do that, and you will be “Sweet As” and welcome here.

Not a bit. They are all the more heroic because they have had to fight THIS BS battle on top of what they had to do in Iraq.
