CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - A Marine Corps squad leader was charged Thursday with 13 murder counts stemming from the killings of 24 civilians in the Iraqi town of Haditha last year, his attorney said.

I remember when I used to think that the military was an honorable tradition and a good place to get a grounding for young adults before college.

Considering the way the officers are selling out the enlisteds in compliance with PC bullshit I would re-join on a bet now.

I have a son graduating from Marine Corps Boot Camp in a couple weeks. I raised him to believe that service to one's country and patriotism were honorable. I almost wish I hadn't because this kind of thing scares the crap out of me.
