Pretty much says it all!
OK now I am ticked off. While I do not think the comments were needed, I do not think he crossed the line and thus his reprimand in my book really unwarranted.
But oh in our PC climate, it was picked up by the MSM, we saw what he said and he was counseled for it. Finished, or so one would think.
Now a group on the 5th wants more, who the heck do they think they are and why are they up in arms about this.
Our Marines, hell all of our military are trained to defend this country. Now if they like killing well that might be a concern but come on, these folks have to be willing to defend themselves, their fellow soldiers and their country and to do so might result in death of an enemy.
Bottom line, take your little tantrum to someone in France who seems to care about your PC demands.
This group is out for blood. Wonder how many of the folks children/extended family serves our country.
No matter how impeccable this Marine's career has been, this issue has ceased any further career goal with the Marines.
The usual CAIR whine.
OK. From now on the General is not allowed to "shoot to kill". He can only "shoot to maim" for the next 3 months, and must write an essay about remorse.
I heard Bill Press sounding very prissy about the remarks on Fox tonight..He makes me sick.
Hey CAIR!
Take a flying freak at a rolling donut.
As far as I'm concerned, that General can get his rocks off by shooting every one of you worthless sheetheads.
It is fine to shoot at Terrorists!
That is pretty good. Oh, and he can only use a water pistol and after 3 months he can use a paint gun.
He was talking about Muslim terrorists, Ibby. And yeah, I supsect it's a helluva lot fun to shoot them sons-a-camels.
Yeah, a muslim is one to talk about killing for pleasure. A muslim might get an iota of sympathy from me one day if I ever hear condemnation and see action against terrorism. That will be a cold day in hell, I'm sure.
I dont think this helps Americas image in the Muslim world.
Gee, thanks . . . I know how concerned you must be about the image of the United States in the eyes of the world.
Excuse me, but does "Kill the infidels! Death to America!" ring a bell?
Excuse, but I am beginning to think CAIR is the BUND of this war and since their goals are the same, how come they have not been detained and returned to their Dar a-Salam, where they can take heads.
General Mattis: You want answers?
Senator Clinton: I think I'm entitled to them.
General Mattis: You want answers?
Senator Clinton: I want the truth!
General Mattis: YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
Senator, we have enemies that need killing. And those enemies have to be killed by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? Men like Janet Reno? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Saddam Hussein and you curse President Bush. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Saddam Hussein's capture, while tragic to the Democrats, saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at Buddhist Temple fund-raisers, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a woman who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
Senator Clinton: Did you you say it was fun to shoot the enemy?
General Mattis: I did the job you sent me to do.
Senator Clinton: Did you you say it was fun to shoot the enemy?
General Mattis: You're goddamn right I did!!
Good ol' CAIR. Sticking up for women beaters. Proud of that are ya?
The Gen makes me feel proud we have the Marines. I'm sorry, but to the job these guys have to do this is the right attitude.
The reporter should be fired for his very description of CAIR
Do a Google search on CAIR and Hamas. Cair has some 'close' ties with some not-too-charitable groups.
Cair is quite comparable to Jesse Jackson's shakedowns. They both operate in similar manners.
