How would you react if you were shot in the face the previous day?
If some of your fellow Marines were killed the previous day by a 'dead' insurgent?
If I was in combat, in this fellow Marines shoes I would have done the exact same thing. Any of you who say you wouldn't...well...then you'd be soon on the casualy list.
If I was over there, honestly, I could give a funk what those people think. I'd be keeping my ass safe and the asses of the people around me safe. If some moronic insurgent is going to be stupid and move while he has a rifle pointed at him...well, he's going to meet his 'virgins'.
