pi*s on that attitude - they also deserve a CIC who favors them over the enemy -
Instead, they have a CIC who is PERSONALLY responsible for more than tripling our soldiers killed - in order to protect the enemy.

That might piss you off a bit to -
Where's your outrage over our soldiers being denied air cover, being killed - about our soldiers not being able to shoot until the Taliban get the first shot - giving then first kill advantage? Where's your condemnation about the things I posted in post 20?

I'm with Col. West - “Shut your mouth...”

I merely state that if you're comfortable with abandoning our standards simply because that's what our enemies do, then you're contemptible.

As to the rest of your post, well, I won't kid you. I don't care what your opinion is.

The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.

Seems like my Congressman (West) is more "liberal" than many on this forum, who think that there should be no punishment at all for these Marines.

Part of what makes our military better than others is the fact that such incidents (the abuse of dead enemy combatants) are rare, as they should be. And, IMHO, these incidents should neither be gleefully celebrated nor hysterically condemned.

War is hell.
