uhh....isn't this a war?

I was going to write on the stupidity of a certain "holiday" being celebrated by millions of morons around the world, but that will have to wait. Just read this over at Malkin about a Marine in trouble for...well, shooting a couple of possible enemies. What a load of total bullbleep. It's crap like this that makes one just loathe the military every now and then. Seems to me that Lt. Pantano was defending himself, not to mention doing his job. So, USMC, what's the alternative? Walk up to some Iraqi strangers that look hostile and search them first? Yeah right, and get shot or blown up or killed some other way. His fellow soldiers know this and at least they're behind him--better than we can say for our government that sent him there and put him in that position in the first place. You want a war? That's war, you idiots. It ain't pretty. WTF...
