An answer to a dumb question

Or he could have blown the fucker away knowing he was saving the lives of other Marines. War sucks, killing someone is worse, but if you don't want to die, don't fuck with a Marine sniper.

The way I see it is kill or be killed, better him than me.

I guarantee you that these asshole insurgents don't give two shits about anyone they clip, in fact they have been known to celebrate the kill.

But here we have one who rails against illegals but feels sorry when one is apprehended at his so called security job.

Can anyone say hypocrite?

It's called compassion asswipe, it's what seperates us from animals. Everyone I have put in cuffs so far I have felt a little bit of compassion for. You should try it sometime.

I don't have compassion for folks who break the law.

Most normal people don't, legal or illegal.

Compassion=excuses

You have never been in a life or death situation, and had to decide whether you live or die, have you? The choice is an easy one.

When I was a kid learning how to be a life guard, it was taught by the Red Cross, that if you go in to save a life, you should NEVER endanger your own...or risk losing your own life.....

I found it a good lesson when I was in the Corps.....if you have the chance/choice.....don't get killed, and do everything you can to eliminate those who would kill you, your family, unit, Americans or innocent civilians. It is an easy choice.

Was the Marine a sociopath incapable of feeling empathy for others or of feeling the regret that normal people feel after they kill another human being? I don't get why the question was stupid. Maybe the joke should be called "Using humor to hide the pain associated with war."

katie couric is a moron, who's degree in journalism should be revoked.

No wonder nobody is watching her

Katie Couric, while interviewing a Marine sniper, asked:

'What do you feel, when you shoot a Terrorist?'


The Marine shrugged, and replied,
'A slight recoil.'

I was thinking of snoping this one myself but was having too much fun with it.

That's probably why Cheyenne posted it in the Humor forum. I moved it because the discussion turned more serious.

You snoped a joke? That's why it started in humor. It just morphed into a more serious discussion.
