US General: It's "fun" to shoot some people
And I kid you not. In some countries, it would make front-page news, but I bet you can find someone to mail it to.

Top U.S. Marine General, it is "fun" to shoot some people.

Some Audience Members Clap

02/02/05 "NBC" -- SAN DIEGO -- At a panel discussion in San Diego Tuesday, a top Marine general tells an audience that, among other things, it is "fun to shoot some people."

The comment, made by Lt. Gen. James Mattis, came in reference to fighting insurgents in Iraq. He went on to say, "Actually, its a lot of fun to fight. You know, it's a hell of a hoot. I like brawling."

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for 5 years because they didn't wear a veil," Mattis continued. "You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."

How does he know who he shoots has done that and maybe there are better ways of changing a fellows mind?!

there was one political operative working the elections....he called the Iraqis, "little Brown Bastards".

That General speaking is the kind that gives the military a bad name.

He's an Asshole piece of dung!
