Election

TVs have been off. Some of the political commentary is too much to take.

Radios are tuned to music, not talk.

LA Weekly: Columns: On: Something Wicked

Hey I was perusing the LA Times when I came upon this absurd column penned by John Powers about the election results. Boy, these guys are really nuts that President Bush won. Well this will make a fun column to read if you can stomach it!

LA Weekly: Columns: On: Something Wicked

The Killing of an Unarmed "Insurgent"

Talk about bullshit. The liberal media.. Excuse me, the partisan media is going bunkers about a Marine shooting a so call insurgent, but there is not a word about the poor woman who worked for CARE and was killed with a gunshot to the head by probable insurgents. Those cock suckers are not insurgents, they are terrorists plain and simple. They do not follow rules, they do not have the same standards we in the west hold. That little shit head deserved to die, and I do not care if I sound shallow . War is ugly and brutal, soldiers are driven by fear, adrenalin, and self preservation.

The Marines have a difficult task ahead of them. Urban warfare is extremely brutal, and heavy casualties will be inflicted if proper action is not taken. Therefore, it is easy for armchair generals to criticize our troops. We are fighting an unconventional enemy, who does not wear an uniform, and does not have rules of engagement. They do not discriminate. They kill women, children, and men without remorse. Now you fucking media libs, we in the armed forces do not kill indiscriminately. We go to great lengths not to inflict civilian casualties.

And remember that we are in a defensive action. And the purpose of this defensive action is:
to retain control or terrain, gain time, develop more favorable conditions for offensive action, or to economize forces to allow the concentration of forces elsewhere.
Therefore, this individual Marine was doing his job. We do not know what was going on at the time. We are only hearing what the partisan media want us to believe. But this time is not going to flight. I would probably have done the same thing, because as an NCO my job is to protect my men. And I bet, that not many in the liberal media know that those cock suckers are strapping their dead comrades with explosives. The purpose of this is, that when we go thru dead bodies in order to exploit information for intel, we get blown to pieces. Why? Because they want to kill as many of us as they can.

We also operate in small numbers as rifle squads, and we need to act decisively in order to destroy the enemy. And that is to :
Destroy the enemy by fire once he comes into small arms range of the squad's fighting position. The enemy is destroyed as far forward of the squad's fighting position as possible. The closer the enemy comes to the squad's fighting position, the more friendly casualties he will inflict.

So you see, that Marine did what he did in order to fight another day. And by doing so, he probably saved the lives of other team members. So you libs out there quit your whining. We are fighting a different war now!
