#1 What a hot steamy pile of horsehsit....K 3/1 was one of the units that had to kick down doors in Fallujah '04. These guys are warriors. I'll take their side until they are convicted by a jury of THEIR peers.

#2 The irony is, we need soldiers and Marines to do more of this (not less) so we can get the phuech out of here. It's the only language these bastards understand.

#3 If the testimonies are TRUE then these Marines went way beyond acceptable actions. Big 'if'. But sh*t like that has happened before, in this war (Zayed's cousin who was forced into the canal and drowned), and all others before it (eg. My Lai.) Combat can do things to peoples' minds.
