“We see this so-called counseling as less than a slap on the wrist,” said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for CAIR. “There should at least be some kind of formal reprimand. If the Pentagon wants to be seen as taking this seriously, they have to take serious action."...

AND THEN HOOPER ADDED..."Anything Less than a BEHEADING Won't Do !"

I wish they'd be at least as concerned for what Muslims do to the civilized world populace in the name of Islam!!!

CAIR is a 5th columnist pro-Islamic terrorist front.

Well, I guess there may be quite a few more, later today, in support of the general.

“Actually, it’s a lot of fun to fight,” he said. “You know, it’s a hell of a hoot. I like brawling,” Mattis can be heard on video captured at the event. “You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them.”

Actually, it's a lot of fun to murder. You know, it's a hoot from hell. I like killing. You go into America, you got people who worked, blasphemed for years because they didn't wear our 'religion'. You know, people like that ain't got no manhood/value left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to brutalize/vaporize them.

Actually, it's a lot of fun and self aggrandizment to butcher. You know, I'm a hoot from hell. I'll go into Anywhere to get those who do not fall lock- step in my 'religious beliefs'. You know, infidels like that ain't got no manhood/value anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to slowly saw their heads off, and then sell the videos later................

As far as the LSM goes, here's what they SHOULD do.... send our troops HOME. Then, the LSM can take their sorry asses to the front lines, replacing our troops, to fight the war.

I'd LOVE to see what kind of stories they spin THEN.

Proof positive that CAIR is a fufth column group bent on destruction of America.

You know as well as I do that's when it'll *stop* being news.

What the hells wrong with what he said????...It's fun to shoot the enemy in country...DUH???

I think this falls into the, some things are better left unsaid, category! Blackbird.

[John Lenin]

There is nothing wrong with what he said, he is a trained killer. What do we have the marines for ? To play patty cakes with the enemy. PC thinking SUCKS !

[G.Mason]

"Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg?

I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and curse the Marines; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives and that 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 parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use them as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.

I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a weapon and stand a post.

Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to."

I'm not dissing the guy at all. Some things are just better left unsaid, nuttin' PC about it. Blackbird.

Hooper continued. “And in this case he’s talking about killing Muslims. I don’t think this helps America’s image in the Muslim world.”

Mr. Hooper, it is not the remarks of General Mattis that creates America's image as seen by the Islamic world but it is the revulsion of Islamist's barbaric subhuman behavior that is reflected in America's image. Once you and the other Islamists elevate yourselves from the prehistoric ages and begin conducting yourselves as humans, you will see a different reflection of yourselves in America's image.

[John Lenin]

Too bad some Islamic nutcase is offended, make that some Islamic nutcase and some very PC people. This is a war for survival and any marine who steps foot outside his barracks may be taking his last few breaths before dieing for his country. It's all about putting things into perspective, putting yourself in the marines place. Don't fall for the PC crap, it could cost you a nuke over your city.
