Marine Cleared of Wrongdoing!
What happens when you send an anti-war activist to Iraq with our Marines? You get an ordinary war time incident blown out of proportion and presented in such a way that a good soldier ends up accused of war crimes.
In November, 2004, one of our brave fighting men came under 'investigation' for shooting a terrorist who was pretending to be dead in a mosque. Of course, the media spun it as the 'shooting of a innocent, wounded, unarmed Iraqi.'
As we took Fallujah back from the terrorists, several of our Marines who approached supposed dead or wounded terrorists were themselves wounded or killed. This Marine was in a situation where he felt he was in danger and his fellow soldiers were in danger. This is war and this Marine did his duty.
Unfortunately, his unit was infiltrated by the enemy, Kevin Sites, an anti-war activist who was imbedded as a "journalist." To promote his anti-America agenda, Sites produced film and commentary which accused this Marine of murder. Pictures such as this one, lifted from Sites' video, flooded the news:
Of course, his fellow anti-America assholes got their panties twisted and called out for the blood of our Military. End result: request denied. That's right!
GOOD NEWS: If you can get past the bias and slant in the latest MSM report by CBS on this incident, you will find out that this Marine will NOT be prosecuted for his action.
There are other members of our Military who are caught up as pawns in the leftist agenda to punish the troops who are doing their duty and protecting this Country. Marine Second Lieutenant Ilario Pantano is their next target. Marine Second Lieutenant Pantano is not just under investigation, Lt. Pantano has been charged with murder.
Lt. Pantano needs your help and support. What can you do? Well, first of all, you can raise your voice in outrage over the charges against him:
Department of Defense: 703-428-0711
House/Senate Contact: 202-224-3441
USMC Public Relations: 703-614-1492
Department of Defense: contact board
President Bush: president@whitehouse.gov
VP Cheney: vicepresident@whitehouse.gov
You can head over to DefendTheDefenders.org and cough up a bit of cash to help this Marine defend himself against this ridiculous murder charge.
Support the Troops. Semper Fi!
