Regarding the USMC "pee-off," Lt.Col./U.S.Rep ALLEN WEST says...
"I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of
our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any
self-righteous 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
files, and have them in Full Dress Uniform stand before their
Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and the
Corps videotaped, and conclude by singing the full US Marine
Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
"As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the
Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell."
