It was no big deal. Some dirtbag got what he had coming.

It is a big deal... if it's true. That (if anything) is what should be focused on. I'd wager that it is not, so I think it is best just to ignore it. But I'm not sure why everyone here is trying to defend these alleged actions.

I have friends and family serving in the military, and trying to justify an American serviceman killing a downed man is quite honestly insulting to them. They are professionals, are men and women over there are better than this. Admittedly it isn't nearly as insulting as faking incidents, which has clearly been done often and quite possibly in this case, but insulting just the same.

I'm sure no one here means to do that... but don't let crap like this alter your view of our military. If this happened (a big big if) it was an isolated incident and it will be handled accordingly.

Like I said in my original reply, I saw the video. The marine shot the man instead of going into a no win situation . There was an incident earlier where a marine was killed by a booby trapped body. If these bastards won't play by the rules I have no regret for anything that happens to them. I would do the same thing in any situation and I think you would as well. This crap started in the far left wed pages and now it has made it to the left-media. This soldier will now have his life ruined because of the spineless among us who do not accept that people die in war. We only saw and will see a small portion of the video from this action. We are not there and for the left, the media and any other gutless fruit to make this a scandal is sickening.
