WAR IS HELL

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), a former Army lieutenant colonel, sends THE WEEKLY STANDARD an email commenting on the
Marines' video, and has given us permission to publish it.
“I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any selfrighteous
indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall
media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge
in Fallujah.
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st
Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a
General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion,
each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without
a teleprompter.
“As for every one else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”

I don't think they should be punished for doing it, but they probably should get punished for being stupid enough to let someone video it.

Their mission was to kill the enemy. Was the enemy dead? Mission accomplished! Stupid thing ... videoing your personal message to the enemy.
