LOL, that's a Jarhead for ya.

I wanan know exactly how many men this guy has shot, especially in these past wars. He is a LT. Gen. meaning he probably isnt out there shooting shit too often(well not litterally.) He is probably saying what most pople who have actually seen what hapens over there wants to say. I know not every soldier, at least I hope not, wants to kill someone. But when someone kills the guy standing next to you, Im betting you dont even think about the enemy as a human until after its all over. Im not saying killing is right, but there is no way im gonna say its wrong. IVe seen pictures that wil probably never be seen again and there is some horrible shit happening over there.

As opposed to hundreds of thousands of men in the "civilised western world" who slap their women around after they've had to much to drink? Yeah we westerners know how to treat the ladies. oOo: [/quote:12451]

Dude, you try and make it sound like everybody beats women in the West. We're talking about these religious fuck nuts all over the place in the Middle East who beat the shit out of women every day and it's not looked down upon.

What a bunch of fuckin' pussies. Here's a guy fighting in a war and people are worried about what he says? I think it's great that he speaks his mind. Shit, wish there were more people like him on our side.

Nay, I said "hundreds of thousands", not "everyone". Hundreds of thousands is probably a conservative figure, it's probably a few million.

We're in no position to try to take the moral high ground. Men in the West beat women, men in the Middle East beat women, both are just as bad as each other.

Kinda reminds me of Patton. biggrin:

Only Patton was crazier, I think.

The guy was talking about women under 5 years of taliban rule...you're
saying there's no difference between that and the life of a typical western female?
...things must be tough in your 'hood.. rolleyes:

at least he is in the right line of work

KTOG · 02-04-2005, 06:19 AM

Since when was beating a woman a executable offense? Oh i guess we're fighting Nazi Germany.

If some of you would like to know the difference between how women in the West are treated compared to how the are treated in the Middle East, read some of [url=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=honor+killings&btnG=Google+Search:8 3329]these[/url:83329] articles.

I for one would have enjoyed serving under someone who speaks his mind, and doesn't wimp out when given a thankless job, like he has.

Semper Fi.

yall are pussies--you know that those arabs LIVE to kill americans. If i have been shot at by those people-I would say the exact same, Whats the difference between SHerman, Patton, or this Lt gen.

Another thing-to get a comission in the Marines you must have a college degree. To get to the rank of captain, you must go to grad school. To get to COl. you have to either have, or start to achieve PHD. This guy has been to more schooling than a majority of you.

third--to be a Marine officer past the rank of captain you have to be reccomended by all the officers in your same company (both higher and lower) to get promoted-so obviously he knows what he is doing.
