Seems like someone has no answer

Seems like you are angry at something and are venting. But those are answers... but for your little mind to comprehend what some of those legal actions may be... refer the above simple correct answer. So are you wrong now? :eek:

In WWII, the First Marine Division took Guadalcanal after months of hand-to-hand combat in the jungle. Total number of Japanese prisoners taken= 0.

War is disorganized and violent. After the first wounded enemy combatant was found to be booby-trapped, it seems prudent to dispatch the rest. Semper Fi USMC, you are doing hard, hard duty.

You bet I'm angry! This is my country's soldiers you are talking about.

Well, Bush sent them incorrectly, be angry at him. He was too arrogant to listen to the UN and their recommendations to not invade.

952 11-16-2004 05:52 PM

They are just defending their country these insurgents, I bet if Iraq actually invaded the US most of you would pick up your guns and fight!

What's all the hub-bub, bub?
 
I've got no problem with the soldier's actions.

It will probably not be one of his proudest moments, should he be lucky enough to live through his tour of duty and live to a ripe old age to reminisce about his experience, but I see nothing "criminal" about it. Doesn't make a good "war story", that's all.

We've lost how many in this assault so far-has it hit 50? I'm thinking that the guys walking into the buildings filled with bad guys are wondering if one of them isn't really just "playing" dead like the guy that capped his buddy the day before.

Like I said easy to armchair quarterback from behind the CRT-especially if it's in New Zealand. Tell me how you feel when 7 of your locals come home in boxes. Then we can debate war "ethics"..

Unbelievable. So the soldiers are pawns or robots - work one way and not the other? They can be shot dead in ambushes? Shot in the back? Shot by enemies waving white flags? But a guy whose just witnessed his mates get blown apart by a booby-trapped dead body the day before has no means doing what he did?

Believe me, I'm not for this war. I hate every aspect of it. But I do put some understanding in human nature, and I'm certain given similar circumstances many people would have done the same as this man.

Or are you simply being subjective, unfairly judgmental or contrary - just for the hell of it? If so, remember, this isn't our calculating president we're talking about or one of his cronies, but a Marine that's probably younger than most of us on this board, and in no way connected with this war but only to save his own ass from his fellow soldiers' fate the day before.

Held accountable - too simple an allegation.

952 11-16-2004 05:57 PM

Whereas you are the armchair quarterback from behind the CRT in the US?

Bush sent these boys to their death. No one else.

20 of these piles of human garbage DID invade my country. Remember 3 years ago? Payback sucks.

They got no country to defend. All they have is a ****ed up ideal of hate against Americans.

Shoot em ALL in the head.

952 11-16-2004 06:00 PM

Look, these things happen in war... you cant escape it... history is full of examples. So people have a problem with it being a crime?

Did you know the military did control that footage? They were who edited out the names of the soldiers on their backs, and the man's head getting blown apart against the wall. So, yes, they had the footage first, but released it to the public.

crime? . .how's that?

As much as you have problems with it being self defense. Read the article again -- and this time process it. Put yourself in the soldier's shoes.
