A band of Lunkheads
by Cynicus
Well, what did you expect? A group of young, mostly uneducated men who have self selected three times aren't the sorts of people you would like to hang out with for social times.

Recon Marines are the elite of the elite. They are at the very sharpest end of the spear in Marine Corps warfare, and this does blunt the nicer human instincts.

It is an unfortunate fact that in order to make war, we must diminish the value of those we make war upon. Look at the propaganda from the Second World War and see what the Americans sprayed the Japanese with. Americans ate it up.

All young men are dangerous sketchy testosterone bags with their ids bouncing off the limiters.

So have a little mercy on the Grunts of this Battalion. They are doing work that most Americans aren't willing to do, and when they return to the civilian world, they won't fit there either.

Once a Marine, always a Marine, but I didn't find the average Marine my cup of instant coffee either.

Was it the elitest of the elite that filmed while a fellow Marine flung a dog over a cliff? Social devients and latent homosexuals are more appropriate descriptions. Good job guys, way to represent.

americans get their heads cut off on film by our enemies...americans are hanged and burned by our enemies, americans are forced to condemn the religion of their fathers by our enemies, women are beaten for showing their arms by our enemies, women are killed for being raped by our enemies, and you, are all up in arms because of a dog. i'm not saying that particular marine should be congratulated, but come on.

I'm not "all up in arms" at all. We don't belong over there, our presence in the middle east is to satisfy the agenda of a hillbilly fool with way too much power. The people who are over there chose a military career. That is their job. Behaving like barbaric assholes is also their choice and it seems that their type makes that choice often. As far as women being beaten for showing their arms. Their religious choice is not my problem or yours. The middle east will always be mired in their ridiculous religion. Islam is what keeps them so third world. However, nothing pisses me off more than when an American woman chooses to live like a submissive animal.

God forbid we be morally better than the regime we overthrew. God forbid we worry about our own country and how it is perceived through our troops at all.

Indeed, we are so constantly under siege by the Iraqis here UPON AMERICAN SOIL that we scarsely have time to worry about what WE are doing all the way over in Iraq.

FREE CLUE: It's more than just the one incident with the puppy.

Well excuse me, oicu, but I did NOT volunteer to fight in an unjust war. I'm so sorry to see you don't believe adults should be held responsible for their decisions. And with this post it's become obvious you'll defend ANY of our serving troops, even the ones who commit war crimes.

It's sick and frankly insulting of you towards the troops who are fighting who somehow manage NOT to become evil; apparently the Marines who do evil are equivalent to the vast majority who do good, in your mind at least.

no, your a coward who would not put yourself into harms way for anyone...you need to go show us how to die.
