Some marines got a little gun happy...

It seems like we wounded them, left, and came back 24 hours to finish them off. What's up with that? Shouldn't we take them out of there right away? This is messed up.
From the article (a news reporter was there):
DYNAGOD:
you werent there,you didnt see what happened and you dont know what happened..
support your troops or die...

So different fromthe choice the people of Falluja had. Leave and have your house looted and probably become homeless or stay and risk getting blown to pieces. Give them liberty or give them death.
Thank God so many WMDs were found to vindicate the slaughter of innocents ::)
DYNAGOD:
all that Marine saw was a combatant who should have been dead.. for all he knew that soldier could have been laying on a pistol or worse a grenade..
you cant just turn off the killer instinct at the flick of a switch..
and too exacerbate the situation,that soldier had been shot in the face the day earlier and had just moments before struggled to stay alive in a 12 hour long firefight.. so i think a little slack is due.
i cant speak for you, but after ive been shot in the face and in an intense firefight for 12 hours non-stop fighting for my life i dont exactly have a real humanitarian feeling welling up on the inside..

That's not the most sound reasoning. If the soldiers are this undiciplined, they don't belong in the army. I listened to the clip and dion't hear ANY order resembling 'Shoot the m------er'.
Yes, we don't understand the situation fully but from what we saw, it didn't exactly look humanitarian.
Oh and if you WERE shot in the face, there wouldn't be any feeling welling up inside. :(
