I find the "lawyer's" use of the word "execute" interesting at best --and accusatory at worst..
Marines are IN FACT sent against the enemy to execute WARFARE.
It doesn't require more that a 40 IQ to grasp that scenario..
In a war zone -- suspect illegal combatants who act or move in any manner representing a treat to self or force -- forfeit life..
It's really no more complex than that folks..
To ask our warriors to "take the first hit" is insane.

Well my brother Marine, you are preaching to the choir.
You and I both know if we had been in Pantano's place we would have done the same thing. And because Pantano and I did what we should have done, Marines are alive today and the enemy isn't!

treat = threat
Freudian slip?
