"It is my opinion that NOTHING should happen to this American Marine"

And it is my opinion that this is none of your business. The military has a
procedure for investigating
these kinds of cases. If you are so fired up about it I suggest you visit
your local Marine recruting
office and sign up.

In my opinion, I think the Marine should be commended for 'getting the job
done', but cautioned about checking the whereabouts of those embedded
journalists before taking action of this type. I also think they should
turf the jerk who destributed the pictures to Al-Jazeera and elsewhere, out
on his ass.

Horse patootie, Ted. This was national news, and so it's no longer a matter
that should be left to the Marines. Your buddies in the media made sure it
went that way by publicizing the hell out of it, making this poor SOB out to
be this year's version of Lt. Calley at My Lai. As a result, everyone is
entitled to have and express an opinion on the subject. Mine was expressed
when I signed the petitition.

As to whether or not the OP should sign up for the Marines, here's a thought
for you: since you and your liberal friends think that taxes should be
higher, I think folks of your political persuasion should be the first to
start sending more in voluntarily. Do you like it when this type of logic
is applied to your own situation, Ted? I don't think you will.

Bull****. Your taking your marching orders from Dr. Josef Goebbels again.
"repeat a lie until it becomes "the truth."

Your ultra conservative crackpot friends have been repeating the "taxes
higher"
lie because you don't want to think.

As for the Marine in question, the US went in to restore the rule of law,
not
of might. At least that is what the current administration says. If the
military
cannot follow it's own laws regarding combat behavior and run this through
the usual channels, they are no better than the dictator that was thrown
out.
Fortunately, for now at least, they know this. Too bad you don't.

Aw, gee, Ted, we're only a few posts in and you're already augering into the
ground with a Nazi reference. How disappointing.

Lower my taxes. Lower everyone's. Eliminate the nanny government. Deficit
problem over.

Got news for you, Ted: in wars people die and stuff gets broken. Get over
it.
