    SERIOUSLY?!

    They've captured a high-value target and are now being looked upon as criminals themselves wtf?!

    It's crap like this that get's marines killed because they scare the living **** out of guys about taking all precautions when firing a weapon...I mean even if you've got a damn ak-47 pointed right at you knowing full well their intent is to kill you, and you still have to justify shooting him/her?!

    This just pisses me the hell off :mad:

    It's the damn media too that blows all this stuff out of proportion. And the bad guys know it too, all they have to do is cry to someone and all attention is directed torwards them. I remember guys crying because we "beat them" mercilessly but they had not a scratch on them. Hell, even our interpreters (iraqi's themselves) have wanted to do harm to them because of the way they took advantage of situations even though they were in the wrong.

    The four Blackwater agents were transporting supplies for a catering company when they were ambushed and killed by gunfire and grenades. Insurgents burned the bodies and dragged them through the city. They hanged two of the bodies on a bridge over the Euphrates River for the world press to photograph.

    Intelligence sources identified Abed as the ringleader, but he had evaded capture until September.

    Really and all he got was a bloody lip. I dont know what to say im outraged. Dont want to start a political debate but come on people.

    ^Hence the reason why they called the bridge Blackwater Bridge (there are two that run parallel over the Euphrates River just a few hundred feet away from each other).

    Agreed 100%. I am speculating here, but I would guess the reason they didn't shoot him was because they were following the rules. And this is what they get for it? Un-F*cking-believable. I am with shack on this one (especially after what he did to those Blackwater agents).

    Just bring the prisoner here to Standish Mi. let the residents know drop him off in front of Standish Max. I guarantee they will never hear from him again. End of the case. If the guy got punched, that's the least of what he deserved. I'm not saying they're actions are justified. What happened to our armed forces having each others back, you know, brothers in arms. Really makes me want to go into the service. Next they are gonna face charges for shoot some one who has one of our officers at gun point.

    I can see it know:
    Terrorist: He shot me, and I didn't even Pull the trigger. I was just pointing the gun at him.

    my official comment would get me banned from this forum... I do have a question though.
    Are the Navy Seals trained to fight in the harshest conditions under the most fierce enemy resistance and emerge victorious, or are they trained in the art of "flag football", where nobody gets hurt and all egos preserved?

    If these guys are even brought to a court for this, the SEAL's will have been weakened imeasurably. If convicted, they will have had their balls chopped off and handed to the enemy. Either way, I will feel safer sleeping with a nightlite on while our enemies sleep in peace.

    This is rediculous. They shouldn't even be charged. They had better beat these charges 100%. Those men were all former SEALs, SF, etc. That scumbag is lucky all he got was a fat lip.

    Is he french! LOL

    Robert Whiting , an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At
    French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his
    carry on.

    "You have been to France before, monsieur?" the customs officer asked
    sarcastically.

    Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France
    previously.

    "Then you should know enough to have your passport ready."

    The American said, 'The last time I was here, I didn't have to show
    it."

    "Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France!"

    The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he
    quietly explained, ''Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in
    1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchmen
    to show a passport to."
