These are supposed to be compassionate men that fight for LIFE, NOT END IT! As I write this I still cannot believe what I just witnessed. The men involved should be Court Marshaled. I know this not a reflection on ALL Marines, but this group that participated in this charade cast a drooling shadow on the rest of our American Soldiers. I hope this is not all that will become of this incident. I will be keeping an eye out for justice!
