The Marine, the robbers and the result. . .

"God has a h***-o* for Marines because we kill everything we see!"

Yep, as proved with the 24 innocent men, women and children the US marines murdered in Iraq. Semper fi.....

[Mitchell_in_CT]

Yeah, and in two previous wars, Englishmen...

I'm sure the human rights record of the British all through the ages has been clean as new fallen snow...

[Soon2Be]

I've seen the video of british troops savagely beating unarmed iraqis. Let's not get holier than thou, metcopuk.

As long as there is war, there will be atrocities. On both sides.

[VA Dutch]

Touche'!!

Wow, I didn't know that the investigation on this incident was complete. The BBC moves a lot faster than the AP.

Way to be objective. I didn't check your profile; are you a law enforcement officer?

Semper Fidelis!

[nacorbier]

Umm ok, what's the "lesson" and whom is it for? You make it sound like the Marine learned or should have learned a "lesson"...

The Marine did learn a lesson. Marine Close Quarters Conflict training works.

For the love of the Almighty....does every thread you comment on have to contain you view on the war??? Get off your high horse!! One superbly trained man armed with only a pocket knife was able to fend off four heavily armed assailaints-that's it.

[beard708]

Way to go!!!! Im glad he wasnt injured too badly. In Chicago, About a month or two , ago A IRAQ vet served overseas without being injured....only to come home and get shot and killed by some punk....

Poke a stick at a Marine, expect to get bitten.

You are a serious a*shole you know that. Or is it guilty until proven innocent over there?

"Another suspect attempted to shoot Autry with a .380 pistol but it misfired."
Sounds a lot like devine intervention if you ask me.

"Her wrong choices in friends, and being in the wrong place, with the wrong people."
Not a statement about her doing the wrong thing but it's a whole lot better that "he only stabbed her cuz she was ... if a white girl had done that he wouldn't have stabbed her" or "she was such an angel" or "if he was a black man they would lock him up and throw away the key. But because he's white he gets away with murder."
I'm still impressed with these people to see she was the one in the wrong.

Nice job Marine.

metcopuk you are a piece of s***, some things never change.

[Raiden]

For me the thugs knew what they were getting themselves into. The moment they said hey, lets go get the guy, chased the guy: All bets were off for the idiots. They played American Roulette with a Marine and they lost.

As to the comment about the 24 Iraqis that died, in any conflict, people innocent people will die, take for example the following tragedies:

My Lai in Viet Nam
Sebrinica in Bosnia
Nanking in China
Andersonville Prison in the Confederacy
Tutsis in Rwanda
Sherman's March in Georgia

These and many more events like these have happened all over history. The question is who did them. You see the difference between "us" and the other guys is that when it is exposed we put our dirty laundry out on the front page; whereas in other countries they would down play it as thugs getting what they deserved.

The men and women over there are operating under a tremendous amount of stress, does their actions justify that type of behavior, of course not. It is obvious there are a few rogues over there but I heartedly believe that the ones doing their job with honor deserve our support. And for the record, I do not support our current Command-in-Chief but I do support our troops, they have given up their families, jobs and freedom to perform a task called upon by their country. They're doing something that probably the average citizen would not dare do. We should some respect for them and pray to God to hold them in his arms and out of harms way. That justice be done to those who swerve from their duty.

Boy oh boy, where were all the holier than thou liberals when all the Saddam death squad victims were being dug up? And where is the media outrage when there is a discovery of 20, 30, 40 or more Iraqis that have been executed because they are trying to make Iraq a better place? Oh, there may be a small 2 line article, but usually nothing more than numbers of dead to make us feel depressed and defeated.

Yet, still there are hundreds of Iraqis lining up to join the military or police forces .... even in light of the bombs and threats.

[metcopuk]

You are a serious a*shole you know that. Or is it guilty until proven innocent over there?

No, it's innocent until proven guilty, mate. We invented the concept. I see that it's not something that's considered by you lot where innocent Iraqi civilians are concerned.
