I believe General Conway is on the right track. However, let's not scare these young Marines who are about to engage in combat for the first time, to not fire back, when fired upon. Some I have talked to have been following the K/3/1 & K/3/5 incidents and appear to have become gun shy for fear of the consequences that await them if they make the wrong decision.
My answer to them was Marines,at all levels, make, have made and will continue to make wrong decisions, but that's war. Marines who hesitate will end up in a body bag and cause many of their brother Marines to end up there also. We were always trained to "make a decision" and "immediate obedience to orders", provided it is not an unlawful order.
That is a frightening post. (I’m nervous enough as it is.) Where on earth did the Marine Corps come up with these sh!tbird officers (Petraeus, Mattis, and Conway) who are apparently little more than PC political hacks?
Or is this all just a big turd rolling downhill from the White House, the result of Bush’s obscene incompetence as demonstrated by his putting ACLU lawyers in charge of the war effort?
I just want to throw up.
