Sometimes, it's better to get these guys to dummy up for a change...

(Even if what he says is true!)

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

If this guy ever runs for anything he's got my vote!

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil," Mattis said during a panel discussion. "You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."
My sentiments exactly. So, what is the fuss about?

[tje]

This is exactly what a Marine should be!

You can bet the libs will have a field day with this.

[NoClones]

bet he's a h-ll of a soldier!

There are people in Afghanistan who needed killing and we killed them. I don't see why Marines should be the only professionals who aren't allowed to derive pleasure from a job well done.

I'm not a public figure so I can say proudly that it wouldn't break my heart to put a few dozen slugs into a terrorist pig.......starting with the feet and working my way up.

[kingattax]

when will people realize we need warriors just like the Gen here. not these PC nancy-pants like weaselly clark

[pissant]

He needs to be VP for Tommy Franks in 2008!

[Buck W.]

The cretins in DummieLand were all over this yesterday.

[jwalsh07]

My new favorite General.

Absolutely. They might just rethink having him speak in public ever again, but that's a secondary consideration in my book.

So what's the problem here. Promote him again, and find a couple more thousand like him.

Well, his grammer is just unacceptable ;)

Sometimes, it is better to look at things that way, but not voice them around non-warriors. I laughed (along with my men) at stuff that at the time scared the crap out of us.
Tripping over each other running away from a grenade, or poking your head around a corner and having the enemy open up on you, scaring 7 years off of your life. You know, fun stuff like that. ;)

You shall not kill.

[Modernman]

He's probably a very good general, but no more press conferences or statements to the press for him.
