Killer of Marines dead
2008-06-08 10:16:00
A southern insurgent with a million-baht bounty on his head for the brutal 2005 murders of two kidnapped Marines died in a gunfight with government forces in Narathiwat province, police said on Saturday, after a night of insurgent terror attacks. Alinsan Nikaji was killed after 100 police and soldiers sealed off the village of Tanyong Limo in a hunt for a suspected militant hideout. A 20-minute gun battle broke out as government forces found four suspected rebels inside a home in the village. Alinsan, 25, was killed during the battle. Thai authorities had a 1 million baht ($30,000) reward for Alinsan, who was wanted in the hostage-taking that ended when he and accomplices beat the two Marines to death in Tanyong Limo in 2005. Two other men, each with 500,000-baht rewards on their heads, were arrested after the Friday night firefight, police said. In the hostage crisis in Tanyong Limo, hundreds of veiled women and young children dramatically faced down heavily armed ...

¿Al Qaeda derrotada? Díganselo a los marines
2008-06-04 22:26:00
Así que Al Qaeda está ?casi derrotada?, ¿no? Ha habido avances mayores y prácticamente está derrotada. ?Haciendo un balance, nos está yendo bastante bien?, aseguró el jefe de la CIA, Michael Hayden, según The Washington Post. ?Al Qaeda, casi derrotada estratégicamente en Irak, en Arabia Saudita, sufre significativos retrocesos a escala global. Aquí usaré la palabra ?ideológicamente? refiriéndome a que el mundo islámico está volviendo a la forma original del Islam y rechazando el propuesto por Al Qaeda?. Bueno, pues sí que me engañaron. Seis mil muertos en Afganistán, decenas de miles en Irak, un atentado suicida diario en Mesopotamia, el nivel más alto de suicidios dentro del ejército estadunidense. La prensa árabe, sabiamente, publicó las palabras de Hayden primero jactándose de su éxito y luego anunciando que habrá bases estadunidenses permanentes en Irak después del 31 de diciembre ¿Y así dice que ganamos? Hace menos de dos años una afirmación igualmente demencial sobre la gue...

So Al Qaeda Is Defeated, Eh? Go Tell It to the Marines
2008-06-02 17:19:00
AlterNet So al-Qa'ida is "almost defeated", is it? Major gains against al-Qa'ida. Essentially defeated. "On balance, we are doing pretty well," the CIA's boss, Michael Hayden, tells The Washington Post. "Near strategic defeat of al-Qa'ida in Iraq. Near strategic defeat for al-Qa'ida in Saudi Arabia. Significant setbacks for al-Qa'ida globally -- and here I'm going to use the word 'ideologically' -- as a lot of the Islamic world pushes back on their form of Islam." Well, you could have fooled me. Six thousand dead in Afghanistan, tens of thousands dead in Iraq, a suicide bombing a day in Mesopotamia, the highest level of suicides ever in the US military -- the Arab press wisely ran this story head to head with Hayden's boasts -- and permanent US bases in Iraq after 31 December. And we've won? [..]Am I alone in finding this stuff infantile to the point of madness? As long as there is injustice in the Middle East, al-Qa'ida will win. As long as we have 22 times as many W...
Marines Accused of Proselytizing in Fallujah

Marines Take On Motorcycle Madness
2008-05-07 17:00:00
M ay 6, 2008: Both the U.S. Army and Marine Corps have been having a growing problem with motorcycle accidents, outside of combat. Over ten percent of army and marine personnel own a motorcycle, and that number has increased rapidly since the invasion of Iraq. The reason for all this is the large amount of money many troops find themselves with when they come back from Iraq or Afghanistan. In combat zones, there aren't too many things you can spend your money on. Then there's the extra pay for being there. It adds up. If the trooper isn't married (and about half are not) many arrive back home with up to $50,000, or more, in ready cash. This leads to temptation, and that temptation often takes the form of a hot new bike. Many troops return jacked up on combat and all the fast road movement they experienced in Iraq or Afghanistan. Last year, 93 military army personnel were killed in automotive accidents. Most of these were soldiers, while 19 were marines. Whil...

God made Marines for One Thing! Care to Guess?
2008-05-03 19:41:00
With regard to the training aspect, I subscribe to the following: 1) Simple is what killing is, whether with a spear or a JDAM. The act itself is simple. We have been stacking them up like cordwood over here – no problem. 2) The training we did prior to coming over was simple - hardness, simple drills to get into firing position, simple escalation of force parameters. Nothing higher than that. Now at Division level and above, the planning, ROE, complexity of synchronization, and bringing in all aspects of foreign policy gets complex - but the killing time remains simple, and we do everything we can to keep it that way. We don’t brief the trigger pullers on all the complexities - we keep them at that cutting edge. 3) I know that EVERY Marine knows how to do sight alignment and sight picture (clear tip of the front sight post in a fuzzy “bullseye”). That is why we are the world’s best all-purpose marksmen. Weapons handling remains simple (”never ...

Puppy Throwing Video Condemned by Marines
2008-03-06 07:03:00
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,-2933,334709,00.htmlHONOLULU — The United States Marines Corps on Tuesday condemned a video that purportedly shows a Marine viciously mistreating a puppy and promised an aggressive investigation into who is responsible.Sources at the Marine Corps base in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, told FOX News that they were upset and outraged by the video, which was initially posted on YouTube but has since been taken down. They confirmed there is someone stationed there who served in Iraq with the same name uttered in the video.”There is [a man by that name] here and back from Iraq,” a source said. “Whether or not he is actually in the video, I can’t confirm that — that’s being investigated right now.”In the grainy, low-quality clip, the Marine appears to throw a puppy off a rocky cliff while joking with another Marine, who addresses him by a single name as he holds up the motionless black-and-white dog before hurling it into a gull...
On Marines throwing puppy off cliff
2008-03-05 16:42:00
Sometimes Marines do things that are less then honorable. I can not explain why. I do however believe the puppy was a stuffed version of a real dog. That's my opinion based on the video. I have no proof. I asked Pat Dollard this yesterday: Pat, Whats the real story on this Marine tossing the puppy? I see a fake puppy and a forgetful Marine! Anyone hear of this yet? Youtube took it down. His reply: Pat Dollard dtodeen - I don’t know, man. I can ask around. I saw an ad for a stuffed puppy that looks just like it. Either way, they’re still in trouble with command. The reason: even if the dog was already dead or just a rag doll, you DO NOT make a video like that, IN FUCKING UNIFORM, clearly intended to look like the slaughter of a puppy, and then post it on a public site. Just making and possessing such a tape is negligent, because you could lose it, or have it stolen, and therefor embarrass the Corps, should it be made public. You do not make something like that in...
