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.'

Salvation is what we receive; not achieve.
Unless of course its with a 50 cal, then it would be a rather large recoil.
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."
Huck had a good quote in his victory speech last night. It went something like: 'A good soldier is not driven by hate towards the people in front of him, but by love of those behind him'. Therefore the good soldier would feel nothing towards the enemy that he just killed.

If a grizzly was about to attack a bunch of your frat friends getting drunk around a campfire, would you "tear-up" when pulling the trigger knowing that you are taking the life of a fellow earth being? That is if you could fire a high powered weapon without dropping it or hitting yourself in the face like the girl in dmp's avatar. excuse me, I just pictured you firing a .30-06......

No matter where I've traveled or how great the trip was, it's always wonderful to return to my country, The United States of America......... me
Thank Huck, not me. It was in his speech last night.
I think the point is that there is no emotion at all directed to the enemy. all your emotion should be positive, and directed towards those who support you. Its no different that me killing a spider that invaded my daughter's room.
The Marine is "trained to kill." The Marine was "doing his job." Like all the Marines that have come before him, and all those that shall follow. Nobody said war was easy. It takes tough men to fight a war, and even tougher men to be Marines. You should be thankful we have Marines, instead of wondering why they don't go crying home to mommy because they picked off some piece of shit terrorist.

Actually, the marine's reply was slightly edited.
His complete reply was "A slight recoil, you dumass bitch"
You know, I was just discussing this with someone two days ago.
Whatever your political view, however much you agree or disagree with those in power, these are our men & women; our brothers & sister, husbands & wives, who are doing what they have been sent to do. We need to support them.
If you have a problem with what they're doing, go to the right people.
Our soldiers are not at fault.
And I truly believe that we are the nation we are because of the men & women who have fought so desperately for our freedom. We're the only country that is this great.
