What an immoral and dirty war, the rumors going around are always as real as the truth of the realities of this dirty war.

If so then ALL Iraqi men would be legitimate targets in this "war". Right?

These Soldiers are brainwashed to the extreme and do not make there own rules. The RULES are handed down from there superiors. There Superiors have there orders as well and they DO NOT QUESTION THERE ORDERS.
The Bush Regime needs to go down and fast.

They are fighters, they were trained for what they do and if you have ever known a Marine, which I know one poster here is married to one, you know that they are a different breed.

4. The only person we have saying that they should ratchet up the violence is a "marine" who was criticized and he is now speaking out. Does this sound the least bit suspicious to anyone else like maybe he is trying to blame his mistake in someone else in orde to get off...

The enemy will look to use such claims for propaganda purposes and milk them for all there worth.
Lopezromo, who was not part of the squad on its late-night mission, said he saw nothing wrong with what Thomas did.
``I don't see it as an execution, sir,'' he told the judge. ``I see it as killing the enemy.''
He said Marines consider all Iraqi men part of the insurgency.
Lopezromo and two other Marines were charged in August with assaulting an Iraqi two weeks before the killing that led to charges against Thomas and the others. Charges against all three were later dropped.
