when you read what a marine in battle thinks, what do you think?

Question

i forgot where i picked this up (lately), but it is a direct quote from a marine who i hope got home okay. i want to know, after you read this, what you think.

do you think that this marine is not justified in his actions?

do you now believe that all is fine and good in iraq, meaning that we have no need to be there anymore?

do you think that if we leave iraq that the insurgents will no longer perform the misdeeds that they do now?

do you think that these insurgents have any respect whatsoever even for the religious beliefs that they claim spur them on to kill their neighbor, and from MOSQUES at that?

do you think that this marine has good reason for performing the acts that he does?

should fundamentalist islamics be ignored while they think up more ways to destroy us?

A warrior will understand this, while a liberal probably will not...and a lawyer looking for a higher adjusted gross income will condemn it......

From a Marine who been there before.

HERE ARE HIS WORDS:

What would you do?

If your gonna talk the talk, Then walk the walk like this guy had to.

You wanna live? Think like a Marine!

In response to the news blurb about the Marine who put two rounds ("double tap") in a wounded insurgent's head in Fallujah, here's
a response from a Marine:

"It's a safety issue, pure and simple. After assaulting through a target, we put a security round in everybody's head. Sorry al-Reuters, there's no paddy wagon rolling around
Fallujah picking up "prisoners" and offering them a hot cup a joe, falafel, and a blanket.

There's no time to dick around on the target. You clear the space, dump the chumps, and moveon. org.

Are Corpsman expected to treat wounded terrorists? Negative.

MORE...BELOW:

ists? Negative. Hey libs, worried about the defense budget? Well, it would be waste, fraud, and abuse for a Corpsman to expend one man-minute or a battle dressing on a terrorist. It's much cheaper to just spend the $.02 on a 5.56mm FMJ (full metal jacket=bullet)

By the way, in our view, terrorists who chop off civilian's heads are not prisoners, they are carcasses. Chopping off a civilian's head is another reason why these idiots are known as "unlawful combatants." It seems that most of the world's journalists have forgotten that fact. Let me be very clear about this issue. I have looked around the web, and many people get this concept, but there are some stragglers.

MORE CONTINUED BELOW:

Here is your typical Marine sitrep (situation report): You just took fire from unlawful combatants (no uniform - breaking every Geneva Convention rule there is) shooting from a religious building attempting to use the sanctuary status of their position as protection. But you're in Fallujah now, and the Marine Corps has decided that they're not playing that game this time. That was Najaf.

So you set the mosque on fire and you hose down the terrorists with small arms, launch some AT-4s (Rockets), some 40MM grenades into the building and things quiet down. So you run over there, and find some tangos (bad guys) wounded and pretending to be dead. You are aware that suicide martyrdom is like really popular with these idiots, and they think taking some Marines with them would be really cool. So you can risk your life and your fire team's lives by having them cover you while you bend down and search a guy that you think is pretending to be dead for some reason.

MORE FOLLOWS:

Most of the time these are the guys with
the grenade or vest made of explosives. Also, you don't know who or what is in the next room. You're already speaking English to the rest of your fire team or squad which lets the terrorist know you are there and you are his enemy. You are speaking loud because your hearing is poor from shooting people for several days. So you know that there are many
other rooms to enter, and that if anyone is still alive in those rooms, they know that Americans are in the mosque. Meanwhile (3 seconds later), you still have this terrorist (that was just shooting at you from a mosque) playing possum. What do you do?

You double tap his head, and you go to the next room, that's what!!!

What about the Geneva Convention and all that Law of Land Warfare stuff? What about it. Without even addressing the issues at hand, your first thought should be, "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6."

HERE IS MORE OF THE ARTICLE, BELOW:

Bear in mind that this tactic of double tapping a fallen terrorist is a perpetual mind set that is reinforced by experience on a minute by minute basis.

Secondly, you are fighting an unlawful combatant in a Sanctuary, which is a double No-No on his part.

Third, tactically you are in no position to take "prisoners" because there are more rooms to search and clear, and the behavior of said terrorist indicates that he is up to no
good.

No good in Fallujah is a very large place and the low end of no good and the high end of no good are fundamentally the same. Marines end up getting hurt or die. So there is no compelling reason for you to do anything but double tap this idiot and get on with the mission.

If you are a veteran, then everything I have just written is self evident. If you are not a veteran, then at least try to put yourself in the situation.

Remember, in Fallujah there is no yesterday, there is no tomorrow, there is only now. Right NOW.

ENDING IS BELOW:

Have you ever lived in NOW for a week? It is really, really not easy. If you have never lived in
NOW for longer than it takes to finish the big roller coaster at Six Flags, then shut your hole about putting Marines in jail for "War Crimes."
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

... and, i think that until we see that those (that this and other marines risk their lives and limbs for to protect your life, and my life, and our country) who proclaim to be living by the qu'ran, "fighting the infidel," CAN BE TRUSTED to quit it and to respect that we too live by our standards, you liberals have no right to prejudge why our government finds wisdom in running our intelligence units in the middle east, beginning in iraq. IT WILL BECOME VERY DANGEROUS IN THE YEARS AHEAD. those insurgents and terrorist love death and hate us for loving life!

now that you've seen it from another side, please do answer.

Answer 1

Semper Fi. Been there done that. You people in the States beware, what congress (Pelosi) is doing is destroying us over here. Things are changing, Bush took the shackles off and we are doing what we are trained to do, engage the enemy and destroy them by any means necessary. These guys are getting desperate adding children to the mix. If we don't stop them here and you send us home, expect the war to follow us home. If we don't win over there say good bye to the whole middle east because these crazy fundamentalists will run rampant.
What did I feel like when I killed one who was shooting at me THE RECOIL OF MY RIFLE.

SUPPORT THE TROOPS.

Answer 2

It's about time someone finally laid it out! I applaud you, sir! I just want you to know that I fully support the men, and women, of our beloved United States Marine Corps! They are justified in thier actions, and perform them with absolute reasoning. The Nation of Islam will prove themselves to be as an infected tooth in the mouth of the world. If they are not dealt with, they will cause the rest of the world alot of pain! I say drill 'em, and fill 'em, if they still won't play nice, throw 'em on the floor! As far as the liberals go, they won't get it until thier own lives are personally affected by a terrorist act. By then, it will be too late. When the liberals turn thier backs on the American Military, they will bring the curse of Allah to bear upon the soil of this great land. Islamics will bring thier jihaad to the cities of the United States. What sort of crap will liberals offer up to us then? Enjoy your freedoms as much you can for now, lefty loons. Someday YOU may have to fight, and die for them as well. oneundergod, you are truelly naive, but you have that right.....for now.

Answer 3

I too am a Marine who has been there.We kill THEM so they never get the chance to kill US,our children ,or our freinds.World domination is what they want,and they makse no secret of it.Liberals just don't get the fact the terrorists would kill them as soon as a marine.You can not negotiate with someone that WANTS to die.I do not know (or care) exactly how many of those dirtbags I have escorted into judgement in the next life,but I sleep pretty good at night.

Answer 4

How is an Iraqi, defending his country from a foriegn invader an illegal combatant. That would mean that if America were invaded and you took up arms to defend it, you would be a terrorist.


It would also make the minutemen at Lexington, Concord and Saratoga illegal combatants.

Answer 5

sounds like the words of a mindless thug
put a round in their heads
then the falaphel thing sounds like mossad protocol
not us training
but its typlical of mindless thugs every where
as he would say some dream dreams and think to write evil
others just do it as a mindlesss thuggery
its all in the training
your getting your jollies of this mindless thuggery

Answer 6

I think they think correctly.

Answer 7

I FEEL SORRY FOR THE GUY.
