#3 That's why he's a General: he gets it.

#4 That's true, Muck. The ad should read: If you feel this way, the Marines are for you!

#5 I'm with the general. It'd be a hell of a lot of fun for me to get my firearms training practicing on Zarqawi and Bin Laden. Cuz you know, I might not be a very accurate shot at first, but with a lot of practice...might prove they have "Swiss heritage"...

#6 A Patton for our time. Outstanding comments Sir! It is fun to shoot known women beaters and pedophilers. The only people who think different are Islamists, pussies, and msm reporters.

#7 Who wouldnât feel good about ridding the world of a terrorist? Notice there was no talk about relieving him or making him retire? Yes, that is what Marines do they kill the bad guys. Semper Fi Marines.

#8 Gen. Mattis?

Oh... OK... The issue is?

Everyone who follows Iraq news knows Mattis is a 1st class rascal. Competent, courageous, but a rascal...

Get off of his back. Next issue please...

#10 It shouldn't be too hard for Reuters to figure out which people are fun to shoot.

#12 That's why he's a General: he gets it.

Clarification: That's why he's a Marine General.

#13 A good leader never asks his troops to do what he is unwilling to do himself. Lead by example.

#15 My apologies SPOD, you are of course quite correct. "Some Peoples just needs a killin'" - Seems to me that quote was an official defense in justified homicide cases in Texas. Imho that could cover Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Saddam, Zarqawi, Khameni, Castro, Ward Churchill & that bitch from the pretenders.

#16 The fact that Mattis' remarks even raised eyebrows in this county is further proof of the continued attempts of "pussification" (hat tip du Toit) of the US male by fifth column journ-weenies, lll educators (indoctrinators) & metro-sexual prancers (not to be mistaken w/the avg gay guy though some of them could fall into that category). I've got a gay uncle whose more of a man then that fat drunken blow hard kennedy will ever be. TK is an embarrasment to Americans of Irish descent everywhere.

I long back to the time when men were men, warriors were warriors & they meant what they said and told it like it is. They knew life and war was rough, and you had to be a rough man w/a hearty soul to persevere. No lame-ass belly aching about sensitivity, save that shit for the p.c. college profs & other non-hackers.

The folks Mattis offended are 100% candy-asses. The msm is trying to make a mtn out of a moles ass on this one.

#17 Yall might like Ace of Spades HQ's byline:

"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slittin throats."
- HL Mencken

Ace is worthy.

#18 Jarhead I was just talking people in general. Not to be specific about anyone.
