The sick thing is that the media will spin this story to take a slap against the military. This person was a failure as a Marine and was kicked out for misconduct. The media will make it sound like this criminal is a typical veteran and all veterans act like this (except, of course, for John Kerry). The fact that an armed civilian was instrumental in stopping this killer will be forgotten and all we will hear is endless speculation about "what the military did to this nice man" to make him kill that girl.
Expect to see lots more of these stories highlighting the military angle.
This is one of the steps in the MSM’s ongoing effort to turn IRAQ into Viet Nam.
I have already seen;
Homeless IRAQ veteran stories.
An article predicting a flood of psychologically wounded OIF veterans needing help.
It is funny, the Military is often accused of preparing for the last war by the same MSM which is still reporting on one that happened three decades ago.
Here’s a question for folks who live in the area of either Texas or Arizona where this hapened. Have any of the papers and TV stations highlighting this criminal’s Marine past covered anybody from your local area being decorated for heroism?
How about a story on the Marine Officer who got the Navy Cross?
Waiting, drums fingers on the desk, sound of crickets chirping. . . . . .
