Every Marine is Trained to KILL

For crying out loud.
A new elite Marine Corps unit that allegedly killed at least eight civilians in the aftermath of an ambush in eastern Afghanistan this month is under investigation by the U.S. military and has been ordered to leave the country months earlier than scheduled, officials said yesterday.
In an unusual move, Maj. Gen. Francis H. Kearney III, who commands U.S. Special Operations forces in the Middle East and Central Asia, ordered the 120-strong Marine Corps Special Operations Company to leave Afghanistan because the incident so damaged the unit’s relations with the local Afghan population that it could not carry out its mission, the officials said.
Marines kill. If the General expected less, he should have called upon the Army SpecialOps. Even under another’s command, Marines KILL. Every Marine is elite, not just those who are titled Special… and every unit is trained. To Kill.
Everyone knows it. Enough with the sappy bullshit. We can bet this will turn into a political hot potato. Leave the Marines alone.
They were doing what they do best.
