Would you want to fight under his command?

---

Certainly not. On the other hand, I bet our Marines would love a fight vs. ISIS

[SgtBob]

1LT Clint Lowrance is sitting in Levenworth, KS for the next 20 years....convicted of murder....for killing the enemy. Ain’t no impossible. It’s happend.

[jttpwalsh]

Hadn’t realized - thanks for the information.

You know if i was a US Marine

And I saw ISIS burning alive innocent women and children...

And I was told to stand down and not stop them..

I might just decide its was an illegal order

And let the chips fall where they may when I got back home..if i got back home

[clintonh8r]

If he could he’d have a political officer in every unit, just like the Red Army.

[Lorianne]

Whether they’d love a fight or not, they’d be wise to seriously consider who their CIC is before signing up for that.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

The best thing the marines could do to save our country would be to attack the White house.

I remember reading Starfarers by Vonda McIntire as a teen. Space station, interracial group marriage, genetic engineering - all plausible for 40-50 years in our future. The Middle East Sweep that she imagined spreading out across the Middle East and plunging a quarter of the world into the ninth century? It seemed implausible then, given how communism had fallen and freedom was spreading.
Now the “Middle East Sweep” / ISIS is the only part of her book that is coming true.

I pray that we may be blessed, again, come January 20, 2017.

Why wait?

[Logical me]

I'm sure that when King Obama heard the news he decided a round of 18 holes would be a great celebration.

[353FMG]

Only two places on earth need to be nuked, and there will be peace.

[Robert DeLong]

What makes you think he doesn’t?

[353FMG]

God help the Marine who falls in ISIS’ hands.

There is no way Obama could stop his buddies from coming and rescue him.

The question is: How will military brass react?

[Pining_4_TX]

How about we bring the troops home, put on our borders, ban Islam, deport Muslims? Let them kill each other there. We’ve been supporting and training the joke of an Iraqi army for over 10 years and they’re still incompetent. How long is the US going to sacrifice our people to help Muslims fighting other Muslims? I don’t see a problem in that. In fact, as soon as one side gets weaker, we should give them more weapons to keep the fight going. Maybe they will exterminate themselves eventually. Hope springs eternal.

[Chode]

may the filthy felcher in the white hut get rectal cancer...

[TNoldman]

Yes

[spokeshave]

I think it is time Obama took action. He needs to setup a meeting to assess their skill sets to determine the best fits for them in government positions. But he needs to hold these job interviews over there, in Iraq. No fair hiding behind your soldiers now Obama. Those be the rules of engagement for you.

...but first a focus group to check on the buzzwords and optics.

[Mark17]

If they attack don’t be surprised if the Obama orders them to stand down and surrender all weapons.

Then he would order them to expose their necks to ISIS blades. What a POS.

[garjog]

It’s OK because the guys who burned the people alive aren’t really Muslims.

And 1,000 years ago Christians also burned people alive.

Got it?

“Take Shelter” was a marvelous movie practically no one saw.
