in why you don't send an army out to fight unless you absolutely have to. You're sure to have some sick bastards on your side too. Maybe we can downgrade that to just dumbasses. Now they're in trouble and they shouldn't have been in that position in the first place. So the Marines will make an example out of them. Great!

Sometimes I see one of those guys on lockup that I believe. If he woulda just not got in the car with the other jackasses, he might have never got in any trouble the rest of his life. They screwed up a lotta lives with those wars.
