Once again I am not condoning retaliation, but know that it only takes one loose cannon, it is a sitation that if the pentagon can avoid it they should...
Please understand I realize that Most all Marines are very well trained... I have worked with thousands of them... I know that they are trained to deal with crap most normal American cannot concieve and the do it very well and with out complaint or animosity, but in heated situation or One person that snaps it could create a problem that could have been avoided...
Whether you consider retalition as a sign of guilt or not, not everyone thinks in that same vain of thought. I am not saying it is going to happen, but that it is a possibility.. If you cannot accept that, that is what I am saying then I am sorry, but I cannot make it anymore clear that I don't condone that action, but I am realistic to the fact that it could happen. This is war and terrible things happen even from those that we would not expect it from.
What's interesting is that so many FReepers WANT retaliation. They WANT the Marines to simply shoot Sites.
If this is a righteous event captured on video, what's the cause for shooting Sites? Why do so many FReepers want to kill him?
The more I hear from FReepers on this, the more I'm wondering if this event was, in fact, righteous.
