What is this? Do you mean to suggest that American soldiers are not all brave and good, the way I keep hearing in the media?

Marines are an assault force. Being in a static garrison serving as a police force between two or three warring factions is no place to be.
IED’s, enemies in civilian clothing with civil rights attempting to kill you daily. Yes I see the Sgt’s frustration.
The problem is that it’s their country and they don’t want us in it. Pull the same shit in my backyard and I would do anything to get you out too.

Many of us believed our Marine Corps and Army would retain their honor, despite the terrible deceptions by the Bush-Cheney administration about the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Now, with increasing stress and bloodshed, we realize the honor of our Marines and Army soliders may be at risk. See:
