Fw: Marine triple amputee, and we want to talk peace with the Taliban?

["Don Greenlaw" <dgreenlaw@cox.net>]

Forwarded. When Sgt Hutchins and the
Pendleton 8 went on their mission to get
rid of a terrorist, known to be planting
IED's., their mission went terribily wrong,
as did SSgt Wuterich's. What SSgt Wuterich
and his squad did and what Sgt Hutchins and
his squad did, WAS NOT WRONG. You either
kill or be killed. You are not sent out their to
play "patty cake" with the enemy. You are sent
out there to hunt down the enemy and kill him.
If you don't, he will kill you, if he gets the chance.

I think many of our Senior Officer's today, lose
sight of and the purpose of a combat mission,
possibly, because they have never had to "lock on".
They seem too ready to criticize their troops,
when something goes wrong, rather than support
them.

Semper fi,
Don Greenlaw

Don:

I saw on TV today the Obama Administration is talking peace with the 
Taliban. Then, I read this story about this Marine who was injured recently, 
losing 3 limbs  to a Talian land mine, part of his brain, his vision in one 
eye and limited vision in another. I think Americans should know what 
injuries our troops still face while peace talks are going on, and some even 
dying from the land mines, and attacked by various other enemy weapons. You 
and your friends that have served through Korea and Vietnam have been 
through peace talks while fighting raged, from what I read, so I guess this 
war is no different. God bless our troops. And God bless you and your 
veteran friends who served and are still serving, keeping us informed on 
military issues and trying to stand up for our fighting men (and women). You 
might want to pass this story on, we have some fine young men out there, and 
Marines like Frank and Larry faced this same risk in Iraq when they stepped 
out, that their next step could set off a land mine and they could die or be 
a triple amputee themselves, the same with the Marines in the 'urine-gate 
video.

Alaska Marine, triple amputee:
