Can you believe it? We've had beaucoup "stupid" Marines and soldiers deliberately standing where they could be shot or blown up by the enemy!

Completely false. Can you cite even one instance of a marine taking un-necessary risk, ignoring sensible precautions and/or violating rules of engagement in a manner that killed him? I cant.

OTOH, I am hearing of Iraqis going after tanks with AK-47s, and I am hearing of firefights that are extremely heavy but end up with casualties counts that go like 300 Iraqi dead, no US casualties.

The Iraqi military has used countless iraqi civilians as unwilling human shields. In some cases our brave soldiers are potecting those Iraqi civilians from Iraqi military stupidity and violence. several such incidents.

The difference my little un-American pal is that the Marines are fighting against terrorism but that late unlamented woman was defending it. But, then again, you don't believe that murdering Jews in cold blood is terrorism do you? After all, "pissant" is how you described them recently.
