Wonderful. We all know that wars are won by whoever is nicest.
Unfortunately this is no longer true. Our "leaders" cannot even agree what a "war" is. How our our warriors supposed to understand that we train them for war but want them to act, not like warriors, but as diplomats. We have put them in an impossible position and if we do not want them to win we should pull them out and bring them home.
I think the Special Ops guys will back me up when I say that if you don’t stay on top of guys they can get out of balance.
Special Operations troops sometimes even need to be reminded to tone it down a little.
In civilian life we see it with policemen and SWAT teams, sometimes the leadership needs to reign in the male impulse to become too pumped up.
Troops aren’t just rotated for their own benefit, it also serves to let them decompress a little bit, so that things don’t spin out of control.
The Marine Corp must maintain discipline among it’s troops.

Hmmmmm....
Would I torture an illegal combatant in Iraq — to save the life of a fellow Marine?
In a New York minute!
How in hell did the Commandant expect his Marines to answer that question?
Uh, No Sir — I’d have tea with the bastard while his buddies were torturing or killing our buddy.
This Commandant, the Congress and our President should NOT send Marines on social neighborhood welcome wagon missions....
Marines should ONLY be sent to break things and kill people who are defending those things or places....
After their mission is accomplished, they can play nice nice with the docile survivors — if there are any.
Give 'em a medal!! Make torture for information to save a comrade's life a badge of honor. If it's just to "gain information", probably merits only a couple of "atta-boys"!
This prick isn’t fit to wipe the butt of the lowliest private.
My father (WWII China Marine) is spinning in his grave.
Conway is a pampered prince, he’s no Marine and he’s damned sure no commandant.
Where’s Uncle Al when we need him. Geezus
MARINES LOOK AFTER THEIR OWN GENERAL! OR DIDN’T THEY TEACH YOU THAT IN THE PRICK FACTORY?
Gen. James T. Conway,
It appears that you have become politically correct, a necessity in dealing with the DC media. If you are having difficulty sleeping at night because of all the death and destruction that Marines are causing in Iraq:
Have a couple of good stiff drinks before bedtime. Or
Talk to your Doctor and ask that she prescribe you with some sleeping pills. Or
Quit thinking of words such as ‘gentle’, ‘appeasement’, ‘soft’, ‘kind’, ‘mushy’, ‘sweet’, and bring forth phrases into your vocabulary such as ‘git ‘er done’, blood and guts’, ‘rip him a new one’, ‘ripped from one end to the other’, shocked the snot out of ‘em’, and so forth. Or
Get out of the way and let a stronger minded man who is commited to winning do the job.
Here’s this guys bio

Has THIS really become the Preferred way to conquer your enemy?
We’re NOW going to try and Kill Them with Kindness ???
God Help Us.
Ethics of Democrats a Concern.
They certainly have been a concern of mine.
Who is the commander that allowed such a stupid f*****g survey to be conducted. The dumb bastard needs to be put in a firing squad.
Ethics?,....We don’t need no stinkin ethics.
I don’t care as long as they remember the Marine gunfight rules.
Bring a gun, prefably a long gun. Bring a friend with a gun.
So forth and so on.
I really couldn’t care less if the Marines killed all the Muslims in the world tomorrow morning. Kill em all, Allah can sort them out.
Not a surprise at all, due to the world that we live in now. I will not be shocked if we are hit again. One note: notice no bombings or terrorism in China - why? because they know how to deal with their problem, if you know what I mean.
Ethics of Politicians a concern.
Ethics of Journalists a very very great concern.

Today??? PRIVATE Patton would be peeling several tons of potatoes! (not to be fried in oil containing trans-fats, of course;)
