Thanks for the ping abb and thanks to rlmorel for letting us know what his site looks like. Now we don’t have to go there and give his website a hit. You’d think someone who was there would have some empathy for the families.

Still washing my hands and disinfecting my keyboard.

Simply disgusting.

If Grunts from the unit who had their KIA brother warrior photographed and his corpse’s image published on a Leftist Website are aware of what happened — this bastard probably had his life saved or avoided a serious thrashing by being Disembedded.

Folks have no idea of how easy it is to permanently “remove” undesirables in a war zone.....everyone has access to an AK for the “proper ballistics”.

Feelings run VERY deep in situations like this — and Marines don’t usually suffer insults or fools.

Creeps like that are a good reason for stashing an opposition frag grenade.

President Roosevelt announced he had told the Army and Navy to take every step to defend the U.S. The War Department announced it had beaten off an attempted Japanese invasion of the Philippines and sunk a Japanese battleship. Both the Army and Navy announced enlistments were running at record numbers, and the military announced that casualty lists would be withheld from publication for the duration of hostilities to avoid giving the enemy any information about U.S. losses in combat.

They should have just left him behind and told him to walk home.

You think like I do. I would want to ship his corpse or pieces of it, home to his family. What city does he live in? What’s his business address?

When I read stuff like this, I do get physically angry. No decency. None. With liberals, their politics are ascendent to anything else, including decency.

they should have airlifted him into Hammas territory or Iran and let him explain his way out...”Oh, I was dropped here by the Americans.”

During my two short terms in RVN I saw hundreds of dead Marines and Army soldiers. The last thing I wanted to do was take a picture of one of them so that someone could later hold it up in my face and say this is the reason why we shouldn’t have wars. Nor did I or do I require an actual picture to hold in my hands while saying a prayer for them.

This man is warped. He’s one of those types who think a cross in a jar of urine is art.

Thank you for your service. Your opinion means a lot on this. I sure would like to hear what the Marines over there thought of this guy.

I’ll bet they didn’t write this POS any mash notes.

"...They embedded a war photographer, and when I took a photo of war, they disembedded me..."

You can almost hear the nasal, whiny voice of this jerk complaining.

A designated whack is better shot, than fragged..

A grenade usually provides a few seconds to react:
1. To escape
2. To kick it away
3. Use it against you
4. Grenades are not always fatal

Far better to make the whack instantaneous, fatal and inescapeable.

A “notified” live or wounded target is a not a good thing......

“Zoriah says he has been motivated over the past year by “dozens of e-mails from soldiers I’ve been embedded with and other soldiers from around the world, thanking me because they felt my images would help people understand what they went through.”

Oh yeah? Produce them...I don’t even need to read “dozens” just show me one.
