You know damn well from the news reports that the Marines were very fortunate - and although they WERE bombed, none were hurt. Your choice of language and demands of proof are laughable.

The facts are irrefutable - US Marines were attacked at the base they were stationed.

Don't make an assertation you cannot prove. Do I care if the Russians are following the laws of land warfare against Georgians. Not really. I have never expected the Soviets to fight nicely.

Do I care if the Marines get shot at. Semper Fi and abso-freakin-lutely. BUT I'm not seeing any reports that the Marines have been bombed.

If you were operating without your emotions, you'd know that at a minimum if they had been shot at, they would have returned fire, and I guarantee you that there would be dead russian planes all around them. Oh, AND we would have heard about it by now.

Our equipment was DESIGNED to shoot down Soviet Air Power.

So put up or shut up on your assertation that our troops have been bombed.
