  Marine Killings Probe
Pentagon Wrapping Up Marine Killings Probe is the FNC report on this sad chapter in USMC history. I suppose that this will happen. You simply can't train Marines or soldiers for years, send them to where they will be attacked and then expect that none of them will ever be overly willing to kill those who they believe to have killed or aided in killing their friends. That is pie in the sky. You also have to reiterate the rules of land warfare in every training scenario, at all NCO and Officer schools. You have to hold the leadership responsible and make it clear that you'll do so by example. But it is a fine line. You also have to acknowledge that sometimes this enemy, especially this enemy, will use human shields deliberately exposing civilians to our fire. You can't hold our soldiers and Marines responsible for that.

For us, the American ideal is personified in the concept of self-reliance, work ethic, honesty/forthrightness, decency, personal property rights, family, religion, an ability to defend oneself from criminals and crooked politicians, and personal responsibility.
