You might have to register w/ Youtube to see this, but you might as well. This unidentified marine singing a song about killing Iraqis has sparked an international uproar as well as an internal investigation to find out who this guy is. BBC article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5077858.stm
Folks, this is what happens when you go to war. I don't see what's so shocking about a Marine singing about killing Iraqis, when that's kinda his job. Let's face it, our military, or any military, does not exist for any reason other than to kill people. Sometimes killing people is necessary and sometimes it is not, but that's the judgement you make when you decide to commit troops somewhere they haven't been invited.
I think it's bullshit that the media has the audacity to crucify this Marine (like they did to Lyddie England), when it is the people in charge and giving orders that should be scrutinized. Like usual, this goddamn administration is letting those with less power fight their battles for them. That's my buck-o-five.
Thoughts?

As a former Marine.....this is so typical. Call it brainwashing, call it boisterous banter....whatever
These types of chants have been going on for centuries. From your Zulu warrior talking smack about another tribe, to the American Revolution and the colonists calling the Brits "lobster backs"
Some do it for stress relief, others do it for a cadence while running.
What the fuck do you think the Muslims were chanting when they sawed Nick Bergs head off?
These media types (on both sides of the isle) think that they know the military or warfare in general.....when in all actuality they are not even limp fucking wristed boots.......

Wow... who gives a flying fuck.
Just something I saw in the news yesterday. But my larger point is that this war is the first where the troops on the ground have been held accountable for decisions that they had no authority to make. To continue the Abu Ghraib example, do you really think that Lyddie England, a Private, was solely responsible for all that? Because she was the only person held accountable, at least in the media. Meanwhile, you can go up the chain to Rumsfeld and finally the President, and they just get a blank look and say they know nothing about it, the actions of "a few bad apples" is not their responsibility.
But it is their responsibility.
Every time something happens, such as the Haditha incident, the media always takes an angle like "look what fucked up shit the marines did today!" when those marines are in constant danger every day of being killed or maimed. Their nerves are shot, they lose friends in combat, and we expect them to make the most morally sound decisions? That's the job of the people with cushy desk jobs back here in the states!
How about this angle: look at what a fucked up situation this administration has created, going to war with little planning and no exit strategy. Look at these execution-style killings, look at the butt pyramids, at the ever-growing anti-US rage that has manifested itself in IEDs. Welcomed as liberators? Celebration in the streets? I guess rocket-propelled grenades are just their way of saying aloha?
So we see this guy with a guitar singing about what a joy it is to kill Iraqis, and we are seeing nothing more than a reflection of the 70% of the US population who wanted this war. And now, unless I am mistaken, the numbers are reversed, and it is only somewhere around 30% of the US population that still approves of the war. I suppose it has been shit like Abu Ghraib, videos and pictures such as this, and mounting US casualties that have caused people to change their minds. To all those who did:
What the fuck were you thinking? Is it any big secret that war involves this kind of crap? Don't pretend you are surprised. Don't pretend you are shocked. And for Christ sake, don't pretend you are shocked or surprised by the actions of our troops on the ground. This is war, where nothing can rightly be said to be an atrocity. This is what you wanted.
It's not the military's fault when these kinds of things happen, America. It is your own.

A US marine has apologised after a video spread on the internet of him singing a song about the killing of Iraqi civilians.
Cpl Joshua Belile, 23, said the song had been written as a joke and was never intended to cause offence.
The Marine Corps has described the song as "inappropriate" and is investigating the incident.
Cpl Belile denied the song had any connection with the deaths of Iraqi civilians at Haditha last year.
"It's a song that I made up and it was nothing more than something supposed to be funny, based off a catchy line of a movie," he said.
Language barrier
The chorus of the song, called Hadji Girl, reprises a popular line from the popular puppet movie Team America, a satire based on the US war on terror.
Both the film and Cpl Belile's song mock the language barrier between English-speaking troops and the Arabic-speaking world, using the phrase "durka durka Muhammad jihad" to represent Arabic speech.
Cpl Belile's song told the story of a US marine who meets an Iraqi girl while under attack in Iraq.
Instantly falling in love - despite the language barrier - he follows her home to meet her parents, only to find himself ambushed by her father and brother.
In the closing lines of the song, the focus of most attention, Cpl Belile's marine grabs the girl's little sister as he comes under attack.
"As the bullets began to fly, the blood sprayed from between her eyes, and then I laughed maniacally," he sang.
The song, cheered on by its audience throughout, ends with the marine returning fire on the Iraqis.
Apology welcome
The footage, apparently shot in Iraq, emerged on the video-sharing website YouTube.
It came as the marines faced controversy over the alleged killing of two dozen Iraqi civilians at Haditha last November.
But Cpl Belile told the Jacksonville Daily News that the song was written long before events in Haditha and was a work of fiction.
"I apologise for any feelings that may have been hurt in the Muslim community," he added.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, which highlighted the song, welcomed his apology.
It added that the "inappropriate actions of a few individuals should not be allowed to tarnish the reputation of all American military personnel." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5081930.stm />
What bullshit. War, ignorance, and apathy aren't "inappropriate", but this song somehow is?
Bullshit.

That song is motherfucking hilarious. I like how actually killing Hadji's is USMC approved, but singing about it is "inappropriate". The guys I know that are over in shitholeastan or durkha-durkhaq would laugh their asses off. Might be in the group actually Hahah, fucking crazy Marines man.
Oh, fuck CAIR.
