This was a joke posted on the USENET humor site. The sad thing is, is that it reduces Marines to cold killing machines, without feeling. I like to think back to the video where the soldier/medic was shot, his mates and he tracked down the Iraqi, and wounded him, and the soldier/medic ended up treating the man who shot him. Whether you agree with the war or not, these men are not unfeeling automatons, but young kids doing what they are ordered.
