Traitors like your shining example of a Marine there? I was just taking a shot at the Marines, because I was Army. Its part of that rivalry thing.

Not much of a rivalry, unless a Marine decides to stoop real low to let you play.

Alright. Us squid wifes get touchy and know the Navy carries and transports the much loved jarheads and since U.S. Navy is on the marine paychecks we are quite protective of them.

No doubt about it, this guy is warped and sick beyond belief or reasoning!

From the "git go," use of the H#### S##### term is an Orwellian attempt to reduce the meaning of commonly-accepted, even negotiated terms.

People who would foster the use of this term are at their root attempting to revisit and change one of the root articles of the Geneva Convention and place us again at square one, as if everyone needs to deal with (in their minds: change) supposedly unresolved issues of civilization.

This is all horse hockey, and we can be glad our predecessors saw through this crap and gave it its due ink and moved on.

Bottom line: civilized society does not consider moving non-combatants into military zones as a legitimate reason for cessation of military activities. The perpetrators of such actions and reasoning are a priori violators of the Geneva convention, and proponents of uncivilized behavior which has as its only increasingly likely result--getting more people killed or injured.

Why can't the media find such ideas among their coverage of these circumstances? Because they're complicit in violations and desire increased unnecessary violence.

The Marine Corps needs to do a better job of weeding out the depraved, Ritter, and the demented, O'Keefe. :-}

As a Marine, this almost makes me want to cry. As an American I can only hope that he wears a bright shirt!

Just one more Democrat who won't be alive to vote in 2004, I guess.

Not that being dead will stop him from voting the straight Democrat ticket...

Please quit referring to this traitor as a Marine. He is a ruthless traitor, shaming his fellow Americans, and doesn't deserve the title, "Marine".
I know it wasn't your title. We should all slam the media for giving it to him.

I noticed they did not even say Ex-marine in the title or article. This is the only way an Ex is okay to use before the word marine and they flub it again.

His existence disproves the contention that "there is no such thing as an 'ex-Marine.'"

Semper die, Kenny...........
