You can't give this medal out to just everyone who does their job well.

That's not what I was saying. I was just saying he didn't stay behind his sniper rifle is all.

I have an xBox. Killing snipers is easy. They are so focused on their targets that you can sneak right up on them. Them BLAM!!!! Knife to the throat.

You have no idea how dangerous sniping is.

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Aug. 2, 2005 - Six Marine snipers moving on foot near a western Iraqi city were killed in an afternoon ambush, American commanders said Tuesday.

They don't talk about this very much, obviously, but it is a very dangerous job. And another sniper knows how to nail you. But, most get ambushed.

For the first time since the June 2004 killings, details have come to light on how the four-man sniper team attached to Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines, was attacked in broad daylight by killers who got close enough to shoot them at point-blank range.

A copy of an investigation conducted by Naval Criminal Investigative Service, obtained by Marine Corps Times, also revealed that the Corps believes it knows who the Iraqi killers were, but let at least one of them slip away.

The four dead are: Cpl. Tommy Lynn Parker Jr., 21, of Cleburne, Ark.; Lance Cpl. Deshon Otey, 24, of Hardin, Ky.; Lance Cpl. Juan Lopez, 22, of Whitfield, Ga.; and Lance Cpl. Pedro Contreras, 27, of Harris, Texas.
Being in the military in a combat zone is very dangerous work.
Telling me that I have no idea how dangerous is kind of dumb don't you think? I mean after all I was in the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Force, the most decorated unit in the Marines. I served in the middle east.

Were you in the Marines?

Did you serve in the middle east?

Were you ever even in any of the armed forces?

What qualifies you as an expert to tell me what its like to be in the Marines in a combat zone?

Yep, and I am just telling you that SEALs do everything, so making the statement that he also kicked in doors doesn't mean a thing. He also jumped out of airplanes and did underwater demolition. All SEALs do that, it's their job.

I know it didn't mean anything. You said that he sat in relative safety behind his sniper rifle.

Telling us Sniper is laid back not dangerous is Dumb, don't you think? And when I challenged you about being a Marine a few weeks ago. you denied it, said it was Army. Pretty dumb right? Now you are splitting hairs about danger. Were you a Sniper?

So, which is it, Jesse, the Bod Ventura? Did you even see Combat?

Is combat dangerous or not? You tell us, if you are such the expert.

Where do I say a sniper is a laid back safe job? Please quote it. I specifically said being in a combat zone is DANGEROUS. Read.
You never challenged me about being a Marine, you challenged me about being an OFFICER in the Marines.Big difference between enlisted and officer, but I guess you wouldn't know, having zero experience and all.

A few years ago, you told me you flew F-4s off the carrier in Nam.

Remember I kept hounding you to tell me the emergency, combat theater, come aboard, stall airspeed, empty. I said at the time, "Your Dad, maybe flew it."

And you told me you were a reserve LT in the Marine Corp and I chided you about not making Captain and I knew Captains. Then you said you were Army.

HA Ha!

HA Ha!
When I was in USAF you had to go before a promotion board to get the rank of Captain and above. Now Captain is automatic with time in grade. Major and above still face promotion board.

You mean that time you said that you could bench press 1900 pounds? What about that time you claimed you were in WW1 and used a trench knife to kill a German soldier? How about that time you claimed you were Jesus, thought God was your daddy and all?

Yep, these statements are almost as fantastical and bullshit as yours, not quite as full of shit, but almost.
You could try to prove even a single statement of yours as true, but you won't be able to, because you can't prove things that didn't happen.

Here is laughing at you, your poor poor drug addled brain must be in a conniption fit right about now.

Well c'mon doer, were all waiting for you to prove up just a single claim that you made, Just a single one, you can do it right?
Nope you can't do it, your life is full of fail. Just like your parents told you, you failure.

I'll never get why Americans celebrate a guy that is, in every standard of war outside the United States, a war criminal.

The war he fought in was illegal.
He murdered people in their homes, most of them unarmed.
He murdered women and children on several occasions. They too, were unarmed.

Yet we wave the flag and call him a hero.

And people wonder why the rest of the world hates us...

We celebrate people like him and Calley for gunning down unarmed civilians, women and children hand over fist.

We're pathetic.

I think Kyle was assassinated by the Royalists.
