I don't think the cherry-picked comments of the marine express fun and joy in murder. Rather, I interpret the serviceman as being psyched at the possibility of saving fellow Americans (and possibly himself), by gaining an advantage in a combative situation. Furthermore, your use of the term murder is ludicrous.

Why does the reason we are over there have to take over the point of this thread? The soldier who made the comment ya'll find so offensive doesn't have a choice--he has only a job to do, and it sounds like the guy did a hell of a job.

I wonder if you guys leave your comfy homes and cabins and ever discourse in person with guys like the one quoted in the article to find out what they meant, and tell them your opinions?
