[QUOTE="MeanMugginFool, post: 189053, member: 8033"] While that is a great sentiment SJ, it's just not realistic. These guys are in the heat of battle, and the only people they trust are those fighting next to them, that's the way they have to be to survive. Also factor in that most of them have been over there way too long, plus the heat constantly baking on them, and they just watched one of their own (at the time they may have thought it was 2 also, the one guy was badly injured but thought dead according to the story I heard on the news), it may have been just the right combination to set these guys off. Do I think it was right of them? No. But having heard stories about Vietnam and that from my dad and relatives and their friends who have served in the Marines, this is the ugly part of war that always occurs. *edit* and on the Al Zarqawi strike, at the very least it is a much needed morale boost for the soldiers over there fighting, and also forces the insurgency to reorganize and possibly be less effective. Just because someone may be ready to take his place, doesn't mean you should let him be. I just don't think the media should be glorifying it as much as they are, I watched CNN for a tick earlier, and they had this whole graphic deal of his pictures and targets on him, and then ended in bold letters "Zarqawi KILLED" [/QUOTE]
