Aug 1st 6 Marine snipers' killers.... DEAD..
2005-08-15
From a blog, but like he says, this will never make the news

I’ve spent all this last week attending the services and funerals of the six Marines killed in Iraq on August 1st. I knew two of them well, LCpl. Montgomery and LCpl. Deyarmin. The rest I did not know, but they are brothers just the same. The families seem to be holding up well considering the circumstances. I was in Weapons Company, 3/25 for five years before being commissioned, and I’m still very close with those Marines.

The only point of light this week has been the news straight from the Marines over there that the insurgents who ambushed the six snipers are all dead.

We take care of our own, and 3/25 hunted them down and killed them. Hopefully they’re all occupying their own special rooms in the Ass F***g wing of Hell right now. But the media doesn’t care to inform anyone of this victory. Only the loss.
