| A way to help “Hadji Girl” Marine |
| 2006-06-15 |
| Via Allah at HotAir.com Update: Just received an e-mail from a credible source who encourages Cpl. Belile’s defenders to keep up the pressure. I just got off the phone with [a source in the Pentagon]. The Cpl. reported to me that they were all VERY appreciative of the support and that this was a “Brass” decision… He said they were already getting calls and that it was helping, but they needed to get a lot more to make a difference. It really is helping the Marines to know that they are not alone and that not everyone hates them… He said these calls were making everyone’s day. I have emailed “The Sweater Kittens” and offered to assist them with any legal representation (should it be required) and highly suggest that the Milbloggers and others make this a STRONGLY CONTESTED issue with the USMC Pentagon bureaucrats for the next week or so. Evidently, according to what I’m being told, how this situation turns out will have far reaching implications within the USMC and with the Marines who are forward deployed. It seems they are discussing a possible new “PC Policy” now for the Marines. This sucks and I’m willing to go to the mat to fight on this. If we don’t, we’re going to be overrun with a level of PC that will completely destroy the Constitution. Here’s the contact info from today’s Vent: Commandant of the Marine Corps Phone: (703) 614-1034 Fax: (703) 614-2358 comrel@hqmc.usmc.mil |

| #4 Matt: I can almost see some newsbunny wilting in the Georgia sun, with the 250' towers in the background, going on breathlessly about the violent lyrics. "One last thing, Aaron, we're starting to investigate reports of trainees being encouraged to chant about killing and blood on the bayonet assault course." |

| #3 I called the phone number and reminded the Marine Corps that you don't surrender the Constitution when you sign up; also, that it is an American tradition to make up insulting songs about the enemy; and pointed out the "greater good" aspect of the persecution of the corporal is the same rationale given by Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold for their actions. Oh, and I suggested they review Dante's Inferno for the section of Hell reserved for betrayers of trust. |

| #1 God forbid the MSM discovers the lyrics to Blood Upon the Risers. We'll have to shut down Airborne School until the investigation is complete. |
