[Poohbah]

No one has behaved like the islamis.

There are plenty of knuckleheads out there on this thread saying, "And so what if our troops behave like the islamis?"

As a former Marine...I expect our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines to comport themselves as members of the United States Armed Forces, not as medieval barbarians worshipping a burnt rock they think is a pagan moon god.

"As a former Marine."

I saw a great bumper sticker a few days ago.

To err is human, to forgive is Divine. Neither is YSMC policy."

Thanks for your years of service.

I always think of our Armed Forces when I come across that fourth, and seldom-heard verse of "The Star-Spangled Banner.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner forever shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
