once a Marine always a Marine. And there are a lot worse things to be.

He joined the Marines in 1943 at the age of 17.
ditto (1972 here)
Anyone have his e-mail?
For those reasons, Phil Brennan is the Defend Our Marines Man of the Year!
Outstanding!!
Phil deserves much credit for his excellent reporting and instigating the defense fund at NewsMax, my hat goes off to him.
Yes, I’ll send it via FRmail.
Well then it is simple. Try Ware for criminal negligence and free all the Marines in these cases from any wrong doing.
That’s what I am talking about!!! You got all the tricks!
A great bio of an aging Marine that takes his creed seriously. Watching his brother’s backs.
Thanks, Red.
Maybe our prayers will get answered in 2008, and these brave Marines can reclaim their honour and pride. Know that I am proud of them; that they have willingly placed themselves in harms way to help secure all of our freedoms.
Semper Fi, Marines, and God bless you all.
Indeed!
Absolutely!
Thanks for the ping, and I’m still chanting, “Exonerate in 0-8!”
It has been a very “trying” year for the Marine Corps, as North County Times suggests. Thankfully, there have been other voices (besides typical MSM pieces) reporting on these cases in 2007.
A big THANKYOU to Phil Brennon for his reporting which presented another side of the Haditha incident compared to the rest of MSM, and to NewsMax for an outstanding fundraiser for the Haditha Marines’ defense.
Red, your efforts through Free Republic, establishing the Defend our Marines site, and highlighting the investigative reports of Nathaniel Helms have also contributed immensely in providing information about the Haditha Marines’ (and other accused military) cases.
Love it.
You know it ; )
Another daate forgotten:
June 8, 2007: Gates refuses to renominate Gen Pace as Chairman Joint Chiefs becasue he was afraid of the Senate. (Gates’ first step in trying to be SecDef for the next administration)
Right Arm!
Happy New Year, Norms! I always appreciated getting news and analysis on your Hamdania and Haditha threads.
And thanks for your service!
Got it. Thanks.
Happy New Year as well! Boy, Time flies. I still have some original threads tucked away and posts..
Thanks to you and All those supporting our Marines and troops when the media and some wouldn’t.
April 26, 2006: Hashim Ibrahim Awad taken from his home and killed.
May 2006: Complaints from Awad’s relatives result in investigation.
And as this moron knows, the identity of the body was never proved, the family members all disappeared and there was zero forensic evidence connecting these Marines to the body.
Walker also knows that to a man, each one in private testifies to their own innocence and took plea bargains under direct threat of life in prison charges.
Walker also knows, because he attended the trials, that Lt Phan’s thumb drive was lost by NCIS, the evidence the men needed to exonerate themselves.
Mark Walker has no honor.
