Marines Telling it Like it is

Exactly OffTheHook. My friend Daniel can kill as many terrorists as need be as long as he gets to come home safely. My friend Robert already got his nose and some of his face blown off by a roadside bomb, I would like to keep as many as my loved ones safe and able to come home in one piece as possible.

GREAT thread BFritz..this is exactly what I like to hear from our Armed Forces. If only our top brass would think like this, and get away from the UN and that Geneva Conventions bullsh*t. That "Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6" is brilliant.
