First, I don't want the punk killed, I'd just like to see his hair mussed. Jaws wired shut for a few months, food through a straw, that kind of thing.

Ah, yes. "I didn't like what he showed me, so I want to do physical injury to him."

Are you employed in the loansharking business, perchance?

Second, Sites knew what the reaction of the MSM would be over this footage, because he's a member of their fraternity. I object to his betrayal of our troops. Kevin Sites is a traitor.

Oh, I get it. Because others described his video in a fashion you like, therefore he's a traitor.

If this was a righteous deed, then why are so many braying for Sites to be maimed or killed for filming it?

Righteousness need not fear being shown. Evil, on the other hand, needs the black masks.

It's fascinating to watch the reactions. There's a basic conflict between "I think the Marine was right to do this" and "But it should not be shown and Sites is a traitor to the military for giving them a bad image." Those who wanted this deed to not be shown must have, at some fundamental level, serious questions about whether this was a morally right deed.

BTW, for the record: I saw the footage. There was no problem, IMO, with the Marine's actions. And there's no problem with showing the footage. Those who have a problem with seeing it and hyperventilate about it probably should give up watching war footage in general.

The following has been established:

The action of the Marine was correct.

Sites took the video and gave it to his bosses.

The MSM loathes the American military when it is under command from a conservative president. Especially one who claims loyalty not only to country but to Jesus Christ overall. Scary stuff, that.

The MSM did as anyone outside the MSM would have predicted and immediately siezed on it as a potential war crime.
