CNN showed a Marine getting sick and throwing up. The reporter stated the Marine was scared to death because the rag tag insurgents are kicking butt all over the place. How can the insurgents kick butt when the USA is the most powerful?

And people are still answering your questions seriously....amazing. You sure are obsessed with Marines. It doesn't take a Phd in psychology to figure you out. You are a loser, and you've always been a loser, and the Marine Corps represents the epitomy of all you could never be. Somewhere along the line I bet you saw marines and thought to yourself "gee, I wonder if I could do that?" But you couldn't. Hell you couldn't even cut the air force. You couldn't even work with people so they sent you to the dogs and they didn't like you either. So now you're just a bitter old man...never possessed any honor so you try to steal it away from anyone else who has it. Well it doesn't work that way. Any man fighting for this country right now has more honor in his little finger than you've had in your entire life. As I've told you before, you aren't worthy to lick a marines boots. You would never have the courage to make the comments you've made here to a marine personally, so you being the coward you are post your vile lies here from the safety of your home. You obviously hate the military and you hate your country. Were it possible I would do to you what was done to the fictional character Phillip Nolan. Remember him, "The Man Without a Country?" That's exactly what I wish for you...that you be put on a ship where you never hear or see anything about America again. Disagreeing with your nations policies is one thing, but you have taken it to the point of treason and sedition. You are a cowardly traitor that cheers anything you perceive to be a failure on the part of the U.S. militaries war effort. You delight in casualty lists. For that you have given up any right to citizenship as far as I'm concerned. You are disgraceful and full of shame. Don't expect anyone else to bear that shame for you.

Then CNN is wrong, as the rag tags are not kicking butt. Anyone with a basic knowledge of history or logistics see the invisible retreat that is the insurgency today. Calling it an insurgency is also misleading, as the majority members of the terrorist network in Iraq are foreign nationals, and not Iraqis.
What actually happened is again, the misleading reporting of CNN. Heat stroke causes vomiting. Simple as that.

I don't know why he was throwing up, but stress can have weird effects of a person. So can fear, so can adrenaline, and Marine Corps food is not exactly the best.
I bet he ate some Iraqi food, they don't have health inspectors, man the flies are horrible
As to the insurgents, they are not kicking butt, they have very little success overall

Courage is not lack of fear, it is performing in spite of fear. And the body reacts as it will to fear in spite of our wishes. The guy had no choice about the vomiting.
Insurgents kick butt because they hide, they booby-trap, they ambush, and because there are so many of them: they flow in from Iran, from Syria, from the large general population. The flower vendor this afternoon is the sniper this evening, the vegetable cart today is the bomb tomorrow. They are funded by terrorist sponsoring states and organizations, they have tons and tons of weapons and explosives that we stupidly did not secure upon invading....
This whole thing was a gigantic miscalculation, and I am both proud of the the military for their loyalty and sorry that they were not listened to about all this. I feel that this administration has used our honorable and loyal military abusively.

Maybe he saw your picture?
But to give you a serious answer (which you do not deserve) I saw that clip and noticed that the soldier showed symptoms of dehydration.
Only a moron could mistake illness for fear - loser.

CNN is operated by dummie tree-hugger flaming liberals. Pretty much everything they say is crap. And there is no such thing as a cowardly American soldier!!!

I don't know about him; but I throw up every time I read this question (you post some version of it every day.) I feel sick; then I feel pity for you.
