Well, when you have rules of engagement, and Excessive use of force policies, what can you do? You pull the trigger, they launch an investigation.

We will always fight conventionally, so that no one else can say we are being the big bully and we feel bad about it. Fire with fire, not fire with sprinkles of water here and there.

My brother is in Iraq as we speak, we talk weekly and this is hardly how soldiers feel. Last I checked soldiers were paid(poorly I might add) to fight, not second guess the decisions of those in leadership. Agree or not when you enlist you are saying you will stand behind the decisions this country and its leaders make.

Semper Fi to what? My military blood line goes back to the revolutionary war. I'm just smart enough to use my God given intelligence to work on aircraft that cover your butts in the mud.

So what are you trying to say? Are you trying to say you're better than a Marine? I really don't think that's a good road to go down ...

So, now you're questioning my loyalty to my Corps and my country? How bout I respond...

Who the F are you? You're better than me cause you scored higher on the ASVAB? Sorry chief, the Corps don't need you fly boys over our heads... we have our own. And we trust them a hella lot more than we trust you. Sheet... AF pilots can't land on carriers, cause it's a moving target!

Exclamation Please...

... do me a favor and remove my sig from your post. It contains the EGA which is sacred to myself and all Marines past, present and future. You have neither earned the right to display it, or the respect to represent it.

TIA.

It wasn't worth watching, regardless of who the guy is. His main problem seems to be money of the contractors, and other conflicts we haven't involved ourselves in.

Wake up call dumbo, contractors don't get the retirement and other benefits active duty people have available. If they didn't pay them good nobody would go. Crap working in other countries most contractors make good money during peace time.

Seems the guy doesn't understand what honor is to me. If he felt he made the wrong decision (assuming he was or is in the military) the honorable thing to do would be get out and respect the right of others to stay if they choose.
