With that said, it wasn't serious and shouldn't be treated as a felony. The Marine Corps must resist the temptation to harshly punish these guys when had their leadership been on the ball - all they would have got was a good ole fashioned ass chewing. <br /><br />We need for these Marines to be justly treated and not crucified to make some pinhead in Washington or Kabul happy.Common Snsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936033792841894514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-59211991319073325532012-01-17T22:28:37.367-05:002012-01-17T22:28:37.367-05:00Guys Guys- Maybe my point was misunderstood.

They are Marines, and should hold that title with great dignity. My biggest concern, is that this will be the one thing they regret as they grow old. And I don't want them to regret anything.<br /><br />I'm not here to judge these young men. God knows, it's a good chance, I would have done the same thing. I just want these young men to come back home, safe and sound. By safe, I mean alive. By sound, I mean no regrets.<br /><br />I could care less about some dead extremist Raghead getting p####d on. I care about the Men and boys defending my freedoms. And I want them to be physically healthy upon their return. But I also want them to be mentally healthy.<br /><br />Hope this clears everything up.............J.O.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12180244268084796661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-47632163708916261752012-01-17T22:02:04.772-05:002012-01-17T22:02:04.772-05:00Panetta did serve two years in the Army.

Like farting in church, what they did was uncouth, but not illegal. Perhaps it was poor judgement, but it was not illegal activity.<br /><br />Johnny,<br /><br />I defy you to find anything more personal than someone shooting at you. Blowing you up is an option you could use, but that backs up my point.

If troops are allowed to get out of control by defiling enemy dead for example I think that we are doing these troops a severe disservice. <br /><br />We have to ensure that our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines can come home with honor. <br /><br />As for the Marines in this incident. That's the kind of thing that a lieutenant should has said "Sergeant! Make those jokers stop that s**t! Right now!" <br /><br />The danger here is that we make a bigger issue of it than it really is. Just because Leon Panetta said it was "utterly deplorable" doesn't mean that these poor Marines need to get drummed out of the service. I think that it is "utterly deplorable" that the Department of Defense was turned over to a third-rate political hack.Common Snsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936033792841894514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-82776011269262211032012-01-17T21:17:50.614-05:002012-01-17T21:17:50.614-05:00Gunny,

I think what ...CS- I would like to give my opinion. I think what these Marines did was diplorable. It seems like it was an act, by young men who are taking this personally. Now, I know I've never been in combat, but it would seem to me, that when you take a war personally, that is when you start developing mental issues. PTSD. Am I wrong.<br /><br />But, I think trying these men in a court of law, is also dispicable. Couldn't they just receive some "In-House" punishment through the Corps? I mean COME-ON. We are asking these boys to engage in actions that will cause death. Now that I think about it, I can easily see how one could let war get personal.<br /><br />To the Marine shooting the video. What the F##k were you thinking. Are you retarded? <br /><br />Anyway, that's my perspective. Hopefully everything works out for these young men.J.O.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12180244268084796661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-22902491984006708202012-01-17T12:53:00.970-05:002012-01-17T12:53:00.970-05:00I used to teach my Marines that what HAPPENS on a ...I used to teach my Marines that what HAPPENS on a deployment STAYS on the deployment.

After hearing about the Massacre at Malmedy during World War II, it was amazing how few German prisoners were taken until the fury in the ranks passed. <br /><br />I think the troops will take this one in stride - but I think that the Taliban better dig a hole and stay in it for awhile.Common Snsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03936033792841894514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-44813054989968953312012-01-14T20:27:37.898-05:002012-01-14T20:27:37.898-05:00Tenth,

War is ugly.<br /><br />If you were my C.O., you wouldn't have caught me pissing on the Taliban as I and my buds wouldn't have been dumb enough to post it on YouTube in the first place much less talk about it afterwards.<br /><br />That said, we must not discount what transpired before the ensuing firefight. The Taliban have skinned some of our guys alive. I'm not condoning their action but their stupidity lies in posting it for the world to see.<br /><br />I personally don't have a problem with it. Piss away Marines! I hope they used pig fat lubricated bullets on those cave-dwellers.<br /><br />Sadly, their carreers as Marines is over. As you said they will never recieve a fair trial.<br /><br />Before that occurs I demand that we have a trial for the murderers of Richard pearl, the Air Force Sniper Team, and The Blackwater team that were tortured, burned and dragged threw the streets... then we'll have a trial of our guys.<br /><br />In the meantime, the left and the rest of the world that is outraged at this can go piss up a rope in a high wind.Hardnoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00062472743694580348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2889423096844012852.post-82930474916339544082012-01-14T17:10:55.288-05:002012-01-14T17:10:55.288-05:00Or get pissed on.Or get pissed on.Tenth Generation Patriothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191408658143390459noreply@blogger.com
