"Ah, the Marines will reply, we told you they refused to surrender. Should surrender or death be our opponents’ only options? Whoever it was we were fighting put up what one Marine commander called "a hell of a fight." No Americans were killed in the process. So why not let them march out with the honors of war? That would tell the Pashtun that we are men of honor who respect other men of honor. Not a bad message to send when going into a new 4GW neighborhood."

Arrogance, the same as American police. . .ANY form of disagreement with their "authority" is license to violate your person. Tazing grandmothers, 8-year olds, is normal to people with this character flaw.

As Mr. Lind mentions above, the presence of the marines is enough reason to shoot at them. What are they doing so far from home? Purely rhetorical question. They must be in agreement with Dickhead Cheney: " The American Way of Life is non-negotiable." Illiterate, uncultured fools.
