Regarding
the news blurb about the Marine who put two rounds ("double tap") in a wounded
insurgent's head in Fallujah, here's a response from Marine brothers:
"It's a safety issue, pure and simple. After
assaulting through a target, we put a security round in everybody's head. Sorry
al-Reuters, there's no paddy wagon rolling around Fallujah picking up
"prisoners" and offering them a hot cup o' Joe, falafel, and a blanket.
There's no time to dick around on the target. You clear the space, dump the
chumps, and move on. Are Corpsmen expected to treat wounded terrorists?
Negative.
Hey Libs, worried about the defense budget? Well, it would be waste, fraud, and
abuse for a Corpsman to expend one man-minute or a battle dressing on a
terrorist. It's much cheaper to just spend the $.02 on a 5.56mm FMJ.
By the way, in our view, terrorists who chop off civilian's heads are not
prisoners, they are carcasses. Chopping off a civilian's head is another reason
why these idiots are known as "unlawful combatants." It seems that most of the
world's journalists have forgotten that fact.
Let me be very clear about this issue. I have looked around the web, and many
people get this concept, but there are some stragglers. Here is your typical
Marine sitrep (situation report): You just took fire from unlawful combatants
(no uniform - breaking every Geneva Convention rule there is) shooting from a
religious building, attempting to use the sanctuary status of their position as
protection. But you're in Fallujah now, and the Marine Corps has decided that
they're not playing that game this time. That was Najaf. So you set themosque on
fire and you hose down the terrorists with small arms, launch some AT-4s (
Rockets), some 40MM grenades into the building and things quiet down.
So you run over there, and find some tangos (bad guys) wounded and pretending to
be dead. You are aware that suicide martyrdom is like really popular with these
idiots, and they think taking some Marines with them would be really cool. So
you can risk your life and your fire team's lives by having them cover you while
you bend down and search a guy that you think is pretending to be dead for some
reason. Most of the time these are the guys with the grenade or a vest made of
explosives. Also, you don't know who or what is in the next room. You're already
speaking English to the rest of your fire team or squad, which lets the
terrorist know you are there and you are his enemy. You are speaking loud
because your hearing is poor from shooting people for several days. So you know
that there are many other rooms to enter, and that if anyone is still alive in
those rooms, they know that Americans are in the mosque. Meanwhile (3 seconds
later), you still have this terrorist (that was just shooting at you from a
mosque) playing possum. What do you do?
You double tap his head, and you go to the next room, that's what!
What about the Geneva Convention and all that 'Law of Land Warfare' stuff? What
about it? Without even addressing the issues at hand, your first thought should
be, "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6."
Bear in mind that this tactic of double tapping a fallen terrorist is a
perpetual mindset that is reinforced by experience on a minute by minute basis.
Secondly, you are fighting an unlawful combatant in a Sanctuary, which is a
double No-No on his part. Third, tactically you are in no position to take
"prisoners" because there are more rooms to search and clear, and the behavior
of said terrorist indicates that he is up to no good. No good in Fallujah is a
very large place and the low end of no good and the high end of no good are
fundamentally the same ... Marines end up getting hurt or die.
So there is no compelling reason for you to do anything but double tap this
idiot and get on with the mission. If you are a veteran, then everything I have
just written is self evident. If you are not a veteran, at least try to put
yourself in the situation. Remember, in Fallujah there is no yesterday, there is
no tomorrow, there is only now, Right NOW. Have you ever lived in NOW for a
week?
It is really, really not easy. If you have never lived in NOW for longer than it
takes to finish the big roller coaster at Six Flags, then shut your mouth about
putting Marines in jail for "War Crimes."
Marines in theater.
