Imagine Patton today saying "We're going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks"?
Good grief!!!
Thank you, President William Jefferson Bush.
Great Commandant.
Man, every time I turn around this man who I proudly voted for twice embarrasses me half to death.
What a friggin maroon.

Read it and barf.
Even the Marine Corps is headed down the toilet under President William Jefferson Bush.
My only consolation is that most of the enlisted warriors will (hopefully) laugh at this clown Conway. Where it gets tricky is that brown-nosing junior officers who think they can gain favor with the ACLU lawyers running the war for Bush by “turning in” a few Corporals.
This idiot Conway’s statement is likely to result in an increase in Haditha-style, railroad-job prosecutions of good Marines, while at the same time getting Marines killed because they hesitate a half-second before pulling their triggers because they are mentally reviewing the “rules of engagement” and worrying that they might make a mistake and end up in jail.
It makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
“survey found Marines a bit more likely than soldiers to”
More likely to do what it takes to come home alive......
We don’t have George Pattons anymore in charge, we have George McFlys.
“Gen. James T. Conway told Pentagon reporters Thursday that he wants to examine whether Marines are more prone to not follow military rules of engagement. He is telling his officers to make sure their Marines understand the importance of ethics in the fight.”
Well, in defense of General Conway, the marines he’s criticizing actually ARE getting shot at, so they have much more opportunity to have lapses their adherence to the rules of engagement. Right? Just like office weenies at the Pentagon having more opportunity to conduct surveys. It takes tough leadership to voice concern about battlefield “ethics” in front of hostile reporters.
