Why was that Marine throwing up on CNN news?

Question

It showed the Marine on his knees throwing up. The reporter said the young big bad Marine saw an Insurgent and became so scared he threw up and hollered "Take me out of here". I thought they trained the Marines to be brave. Do they?

Answer 2

I woudl take everything CNN puts up with a major grain of salt. Actually, with a dump truck full of grains of salt.

they are very strongly biased, and I honestly doubt their integrity.

Anyhow, Marines are also just human beings. Human beings have their breaking point, all of them do. Some of them have it on a hair trigger, others can wade through a hundred firefights and break when they see a dog get run over. It's all depending on the individual. And what did they say about the previous action that Marine had seen? I would bet nil, or next to nil. How long has he been away from his base during operations? How long since his last hot meal? His last shower? His last uninterrupted night's sleep? His last contact with his family back home? Has he seen any of his mates get killed in action or accidents? All questions that you do not know the answer to that could affect one's reaction to the various stresses of being in an area where there is still fighting.

Also, Combat Stress Disorder, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, affect people in different ways at different times. This might have been a long time coming.

Answer 3

Again, a total fabrication by this habitual liar. This is a complete boldface lie. This even was never on CNN. This is insulting to all veterans, and the proud men and women serving honorably during this conflict.

Please people, when you see this poster with these repeated slanderous lies, report the offense to Yahoo Answers.

Answer 4

If you've never served then you better say nothing other than the praises of the men and women of the US military and put them up high on a pedestal for doing something you don't have the stones to do. Regardless of what you view is right or wrong. They are doing it for a measly wage and doing in a fine manner for the most part.

Answer 5

Go Into ANY Combat Situation

Whether It Be As A Marine Or A News Reporter

Answer 6

reason their rattling drained of a similar issues taking position over and throughout back. How about the 30 Iraqi civilians that died reason behind a suicide bomber? no one cares!!! We were given desencitized to mass homicide round 2003 July, some months after the invasion. i do not advise to be impolite or disrepectuful yet it truly is too lengthy of a conflict. each body theory it changed into going to be short. yet now united statesa. is the giggling inventory of the international. even as China is the increasing superpower seeking to mission us in 5 years time.

Answer 7

Oh the typical cowardice of Erudite to spew his total bullsh*t on Y! Answers instead of saying it to the face of a Marine or soldier. It must be quite pitiful and sad to not be able to make it in the military and therefore, have to throw biased lies at them. I will once again tell you, your day is coming and you'll have to answer for all the things you've said and done. I hope you're prepared.

Answer 8

Having served my country as you claimed to have done, I find it funny that it has left such a bad taste in your mouth. I don't care about this country's government, only it's people. So go ahead and "post" your comments and ideology, most soldiers and ex-soldiers are too professional to even take heed to your misguided attempts to jade us. I will bet the rest of my existence that anything you say here will never be repeated to an actual soldiers' face. Let me ask you, how sad of an existence is it for natural born cowards such as yourself?
Keep up the good fight, I'm sure it makes you feel special in some delusional way.

Answer 9

So uh, where's the link? You're awfully good about bashing Marines, but you never have any proof. You say you were in the military; did some Marine pick on you, or take your girlfriend, and now you have a grudge? Thanks for the points!

Answer 10

I'll keep reporting you until you stop posting your idiot-like questions that nobody cares about. Coward who likes insurgents who kill innocent people. You are mindweak so it is easy for terrorists to brainwash you with their propoganda. The government will get you. TRAITOR TWEAK.

Moron. Coward. Dishonorable. An embarassment. Loser.
