Why didnt the 2nd marine duck, or at least shoot back, when taking incoming fire? He's just looking at his buddy
You'll notice he has his finger on the trigger.

Thank God our fathers and grandfathers weren’t as concerned about entering battle without armored protection as some here are.

The proper address to this soldier is a humble "thank you," not a strident comment like, "Hey, bro, where's your helmet..."
Because the fact is without knowing the history of this picture it could have been staged in Arizona.

This is the one aspect of modern debate I do not like. Why is it that anyone with a PC suddenly feels their opinion is resolute? There are undoubtedly many here who have never been soldiers, never been in a fist fight and have have only seen military rifles in sporting goods stores.
Yet, they are experts.
Every morning I get up I carry knives they don't own, I handload rounds they have never fired, I ride a motorcycle they cannot physically lift off the sidestand and I have seen events they only know from history. And yet, we can get posts by the dozen from people who haven't a clue.
This soldier is in combat so we won't have to. Oh, he might not be wearing regulation spec gear. He might have been on the way to the latrine. He might have been previously decorated for service.
It is possible that he knows more about combat and service than our combined knowledge here in the forum.
I hope I have the distinct privilege in meeting this man, shaking his hand and thanking him for my freedom. I have lived my entire life in safety because someone else put their life in jeopardy.

WHAT!?!?! Are you suggesting that the administration created war-time state sponsored propaganda which was used on it's own populace!?!?Less believable than the Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch incidents..and that turned out to be a lie.
Or they could have decided the story was not verifiable or fraudulent...and since Fox News admitted in court that they make things up I would tend to not give them the benefit of the doubt.Fox News may very well be the only one who broke the story, but I can almost assure you the other networks have seen it, just didn't decide to run with it. (Assuming its legit)

Wow, that whole if you question their credibility I will attack yours thing sounds so much like the "if you question the administration we will attack your patriotism" thing. :barf: :barf:If we asked for credentials, we'd weed out the posers. Come to my local Harley shop and show me who you really are. Until then, leave the soldier alone
