By the way, thanks for sharing the vid. It was interesting to watch, though I didn't watch every second of it. It was brutal to watch the US men loading those bodies into the bags. Someone bitched that "we gotta put two to a bad" or something.
Another Marine said something about not caring about his life so much as he cared about his family and didn't want the enemy to be fighting in the US. "I'd rather kill them in their backyard than our backyard." Something like that.
Nice video.

The death
of a 23-year-old Marine from Camas, Wash., in early November was an accident,
according to the San Diego County medical examiner, but the sergeant's parents
say the report prompts more questions than answers, including whether the
military properly treated him.
"How can they justify this as an
accident? And whose accident is it?" said Sandra Wold, the mother of Sgt.
William C. Wold. His body was found in his San Diego bunk three days after his
discharge from a military hospital. He was at the facility to be treated for
post-traumatic stress disorder that his family said caused a drug addiction.
In a report dated Jan. 8, the medical examiner concluded Wold's death
was "best listed as methadone, clonazepam, diazepam, and fluoxetine toxicity."
Two friends discovered the Marine in his bed at barracks affiliated with
the Balboa Naval Medical Center. The night before, the three had gone out for
tattoos and returned to Wold's quarters to eat fast food and watch a movie.
Sandra Wold of Camas said her son had not been prescribed methadone at
the time of his death. But he had been prescribed the anti-addiction drug along
with the three other medications during hospitalizations two months earlier at
California military facilities at Camp Pendleton and in Palo Alto.
"Those were not lethal drugs at Camp Pendleton, and they were in the
same combination," Wold said Thursday in a phone interview. "How can that be?"
Marines public affairs officers at Camp Pendleton, where William Wold
had been stationed, declined to comment, saying details weren't immediately
available.
Wold, who was buried Nov. 17 in Evergreen Memorial Gardens in
Vancouver, enlisted in the Marines at 17 and was selected to guard President
Bush for three years at Camp David before going to Iraq in 2004. In fighting in
Fallujah that year, he suffered a blast injury.
His mother said the war also severely affected her son emotionally and psychologically, and that led to
his drug problem.
One incident he found particularly tough to forget
involved a vehicle running a roadblock. Directed to fire as the vehicle came
through the roadblock, the troops later discovered the van had been filled with
children. The incident left Wold unable to sleep, eat or be among crowds.
He re-enlisted, his mother said, hoping to find solace in the company of
others in the military. But, according to official records, he was unable to
complete a substance abuse program and was being readied for military discharge
when he was moved from the naval hospital to the barracks.
The Department of the Navy has said it is performing a criminal investigation into
Wold's death, but it is not complete
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

One little thread with a serious awesome message and it gets tossed right in the place it shouldnt be political. Fuck it and fuck all of you.
