Thread Name: 'Hadji Girl' Controversy
Subject: RE: 'Hadji Girl' Controversy
The Marine who wrote that song made a joke about the gruesome death of a child. They were laughing at the gruesome death of a child. What this shows is that he and his buddies are not qualified to be doing the job they are over there to do.

His is not the kind of attitude that is going to win anything over there. All it's going to accomplish will be to get a whole lot more of our servicemen and women killed, as well as a whole lot more (many thousands of times more) innocent civilians, including women and children killed before our forces finally come home in utter defeat.

If the job is too big for those Marines... if they are so incapable of doing the job and doing it right, if they are going to make things worse there instead of better by having this kind of racist and profoundly inhumane attitude toward the people they have accepted a mission to help, they have no business being there. They should come back home and leave the job to the grown-ups.
