A tip 'o the campaign cap to the Jarheads from an old Army grunt!
We figured you were better than the Navy proper or the Air Force; at least you wore boots and skipped the funny pants.

Would you like me to post some videos of beheadings, IED attacks, Sniper attacks, and suicide attacks? We are fighting a real enemy over there and quite frankly I'm glad that they are taking care of insurgents, whether they are already wounded or not.
Perhaps seeing Eugene Armstrong, or Kenneth Bigly, or Jack Hensely being brutally beheaded will give you some perspective.

You might approve of it, but it is considered a major war crime.

I have no problem with the brutal murder of terrorists/insurgents. The amount they suffer means little to me. As for the kids in that vid, I'm going to have to call bullshit, unless you got a legit source that tells the background there is no way to know whether US troops did that or a insurgent IED. God knows insurgents are killing more Iraqis than soldiers.
Furthermore, even if that was a mess-up by US troops, if Saddam was still in power many many more Iraqis would have already died.
Now, that being said, here is my little disclaimer. I am NOT a supporter of the war or of Bush. I think that we went to war for BS reasons and that it was a waste of good American/British lives. Bash Bush and the war all you like, but don't for a second presume that you have any idea what the situation is like over there.

Re: Happy 235th Marines
I got confused. I thought this was for the Royal Marines.
