From the article:

Lt. Pantano and Marines such as those at Haditha face a death sentence every day in a war with an enemy that obeys no rules. They are heroes, not war criminals. Yet there are some who think their reward for putting their lives on the line for their country and doing their duty to the best of their ability should be a murder charge, just because they don't like the policy that put them there.

There's one thing these men are that many in the media and Congress are not — and it is shown in the Marine motto. Semper fi.

But the terrorists already have their propaganda victory. Al Jazeera can headline: "US Congressman Confirms Marines Guilty of Murder". That's all they need, and Murtha just gave it to them. Nice work once again liberals.

And Murtha KNOWS damn well that is what he did. He is praying for failure and abbetting the enemy.

Semper Fi is for us as well. We set VERY high standards for our soldiers, sailors, airmen and MARINES. We need to give them the benefit of the doubt when they are in combat. We need to be faithful to THEM, because they earn our trust by risking their lives for us. You may not be part of the "Green Machine," but you certainly can help them out - just by showing a bit of patience and respect. Don't buy in to the "every day is another Vietnam" crap that the M$M is attempting to sell.

I for one, am not worried in the least about this business. Stop giving the other side a club with which to beat us by giving credence to lies, half-truths and omissions. The USMC has a proven record of combat performance second to NONE. They will take care of any "bad actors" because they take the honor of the Corps seriously.
