Re: Young Marine dies in Iraq - not just another casualty
Interesting story.
Not sure what to make of the difference, if any, between a marine choosing to "take a bullet" for his country in a cause he does not believe ine and a Jihadi dying for a cause he passionately believes in. In both cases of course, the supporters of the respective cause promise great respect for their warrior and the leaders of the respective side use the death to further their political agendas.
In considering this point, try to set aside -- if possible -- the question of military justice vs terrorist justice. My point is about the cause and willingness to die.
