#2 Obviously, me being a devout Catholic, it's a conflict of interest. Then again, God supported David when he killed Goliath," Wilson said. "I believe God supports what we do and I've never killed anyone who wasn't carrying a weapon

I'm Catholic and I'd help load his weapon. Good shootin'!

#6 Those of you old enough to remember Ian Fleming might remember this comment in From a View to a Kill: "Never send a man where you can send a bullet." It was good advice then and better advice now. Keep up the good work, Marine. Semper Fi!

#7 Excellent. At just 21, that's very impressive shooting. USMC snipers have always pretty much won the day; God love 'em. (must have something to do with enlistee motivation (Guts) and USMC time-honored warrior skills training.

They deserve our utmost support.
