Marines Out To Avenge Blood Of 'executed' Gis

There are two types of thinking, reactive and introspective, or put another way, knee-jerk and arm-chair.

One reacts to the initial emotion, and the other views consequences, conscience, and self-image.

In most situations, but not always, the individual himself passes from one stage to the next. Or, a buddy on the scene will tell him to "cool it" and together they end up doing the "right thing".

Not too long ago, there was a "situation". An emotion was expressed. I gave him the opportunity, and a knife. He, then, had second thoughts about castrating his antagonist.

One of the great things in dealing with Marines is the realization that once you get past the facade and get to the core, you find the Corps, in all its glory.

And that is more than my opinion, it is my life.

If you are not a Marine you have not earned the right to wear my Eagle, Globe, and Anchor or to use my Marine form of greeting, "Semper Fi". Why are you even on this board?

You state that you are neither military nor Marine, that makes you a civilian. The only reason I still talked to my parents when I came home was that they were both veterans. I still don't care much for civilians, that's why my wife is a veteran.

Obviously annoyed,

The lady is new to boards like this and in my opinion doesn'rt know any better. She may have been wise to refrain from posting on this thread

My personal opinion is that it's not about revenge. It's about survival.

I'm not on the ground there and it's hard to judge anything otherwise.

The title of the article, and the article itself is, in my opinion, the media equivalent of trolling.

Seems like it worked.

The lady who posted here and some of the rest of you have bought into the trolling, hook, line and sinker.

The trouble with trolling is the fisherperson may not be able to handle what is caught. If I wanted to read or listen to civilians babble I'd be on AOL forums. I stand by my original statements. Civilians normally don't want Marines around unless:
A. Their butts are caught in a serious crack.
B. They want us for our payroll.

I was sworn to defend them and obey the orders of the civilians in office, but I sure don't like them.

Hey tiggerifictr2,
The marines have alot of sayings, my favorite is "kill'em all, and let God sort them out ', so unless you been there "drift" I'm not going to give you the HONOR of a Semper Fi you don't rate it!

The individual has been extensively counseled concerning their comments on this thread.

Please return to the original topic if you would.


Semper Fidelis, Marines.

If the population at large thought Marines were more than upset about the fallen and executed soldiers of the 507th, then stand by for a ram from this.

Dead US soldier hung on public display

April 1 2003


US Marines moved into the southern Iraqi town of Shatrah today to recover the body of a dead comrade which had been hanged in the town square, officers said.

Hundreds of troops were dispatched on the operation after intelligence reports indicated the body of a dead American, who was killed in a firefight last week, had been paraded through the streets and hanged in public.

"We would like to retrieve the body of the marine but it is not our sole purpose," said Lieutenant-Colonel Pete Owen, of the First Marine Expeditionary Force.

Military sources said another part of the operation was to arm local militias to fight against members of the ruling Baath party loyal to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

Shatrah is some 40 km north of Nasiriyah, where Iraqi forces have been harassing US supply lines and putting up tough resistance for more than a week.
