Just thought I would post this as it almost brought me to tears.
Was gonna post the smilie crying with the american flag but we don't have it and I'm not technically savy to get it.
Very sad story. The loss of a good man and a Marine.

Man so pissed. Apparently there was a photographer there that photographed the Marine as he died. The family (not to mention the rules photographers agree to) asked them not to distribute or show the photos. The photographer is from the AP and they have released an account/slideshow of the gun battle narrated by the lady photographer with her pcitures. In that slide show they show pictures of the Marine on his side obviously in pain and you can see his legs are kind of a bloody mess. So dispictable that they showed them after the family begged them not to. All they want is their name in the paper and 15 minutes of fame with no care about the guy or the family. It's great they talk about his sacrifice and how great and honorable a guy he was...but what is the need to show him like that.
The photographer, editor and anyone that had anything to do with that picture deserves a far worse fate

See the error in their plan was this. Instead of telling the marine to watch the brush and shoot anything that moves, they should have just napalmed the whole fucking area Vietnam style. Fuck the towelzies.

The media, most of them if not all them, are nothing but a bunch of scum bags. I hate the media. I have had a few drinks and really want to type what I really think but I know I would regret the vial things I would say.
