No it is the voice of a former servicemember that knows better.
I think raildogg had better call you brave and suck up like he does to all the other servicemembers. Let's have it raildogg.

Military service exempts someone from becoming a radical leftist?

It's a generalization about marines. NOW do you see the problem with generalizing about Afghans and Iraqis? (Probably not knowing you).

It's not even a very good one. All women in america wear pants in public or face consequences for public indecency - mandated clothing obviously isn't universally wrong by anyone's standards, you are just quibbling about degrees...

"Hey! Come on...just don't say that in front of the press!"The US Marine Corps has publicly upbraided one of its generals for his comments describing shooting people in Iraq as "fun".
Discussing fighting in Iraq, the General said he liked brawling and enjoyed shooting people.
The Marine Corps said Lt Gen James Mattis had been "counselled" concerning his remarks, made during a panel discussion in California.
The general had agreed he should have chosen his words more carefully.
Gen Mattis is a hardened veteran of combat and appears to have developed a taste for it.
During the discussion, he spoke of his experience fighting in Iraq as commander of the 1st Marine Division.
Public gaffe
Caught on tape, he said: "Actually, it's quite a lot of fun to fight; you know, it's a hell of a hoot. I like brawling; it's fun to shoot some people."
In the context of Afghanistan, he said men who slapped around women for not wearing a veil had no manhood and it was fun to shoot them.
The commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen Mike Hagee, later issued a statement saying he had counselled Gen Mattis on his remarks.
The statement praised Gen Mattis as a brave and brilliant military leader and it seems there will be no disciplinary action.
But such public slip-ups by its senior officers are irritants for the American military, whose reputation for honour and moral fibre are central to American life.
These soldiers should get in touch with their buddies in the CIA.Originally posted by: raildogg

Again, InfoHawk, respond to this:

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for 5 years because they didn't wear a veil," Mattis continued. "You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."
Our marines are not shooting Afghans, they are shooting the Taliban, just think for a second, who could he have been speaking of, the Afghan people or the members of Taliban?
You have posted earlier saying he was speaking of Afghans, which is totally false. Just clarify yourself
He's talking about "guys in Afghanistan." Hence Afghans. (I'm losing patience with your feeble brain).
So our Marines are SHOOTING regular Afghans?? I'll try once again.

Our soldiers are trying to kill or capture the Taliban, so again, are they shooting at innocent Afghan civilians or the Taliban murderers who brutalized the women .
I know you'll get p!ssed, but oh well.

Brief history here:
CIA funds Mujahadeen (AKA pre-Talibani's)
CIA funds ISI
ISI props up Taliban
ISI starts genocide in Kashmir against Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists with American weapons
ISI funds horrific Taliban regime
Follow the dotted line backwards and where do you end up..? Back at the American military/intelligence agencies. I guess we are cleaning up our own mess now, but its real dirty IMO to fund and support and ideoligical movement and then condemn and slaughter them when they start to annoy you. Sounds like a bunch of Imperialists to me.
GG.
