Re: Marine General's Blunt Comments Draw Fire
Sounds like Patton. Not very politically correct. Last I heard they do not hire girl scouts to be Marine Generals. Uhhh, we have sort of told people that we have a war or two going on....
Better to have the guys fighting it that enjoy it. So let's see, if I had one of the former Taliban in MY cross hairs, the people who gave shelter to OBL, would I pull the trigger and feel no remorse? How about some guy who dismembered a western aid worker? I would imagine most soldiers and marines do not have a lot of sleepless nights over the killing of people of this ilk with a weapon in their hand.
Did the General stick his foot in his mouth? Yup. Are there a hundred mosques where worse is said? Yup.
