I think that people need to understand that this was a line from a movie that NO ONE seemed to take offense to after 9/11. Cpl. Belile was just letting off steam in a humorous way and trying to make a tour of duty easier for himself and his comrades. Oorah corporal.

After Dr. Sabrosky’s comments about yahoos, was almost afraid to list my email address! Sending military personnel abroad sans cultural awareness training is a mistake. Young soldiers in Iraq need to be reminded they are the living prisms through US is viewed by native Iraqis, by which radicals will interpret our culture. That tape is ammo for the radical Muslims to use against us. That boy was looking for attention and did not stop to think. Commonsense is still quite an asset, no matter how old one is!

Hey I once watched a song made by a guy dressed up like a terrorist. He cursed america and laughed at the end when a video of a plane penetrating the world trade centre was shown. Now ALL OF YOU FREEDOM FREAKS wont have any problems with that video would you?

Insightful comments, as always, Dr. Sabrosky.

Mr. Little – Apologies, wasn’t referring to you, but to some of those yahoos who think the whole thing is neat, defesnible, and so forth. Agree entirely with your restraint. – Alan

“Do you ——– have any idea how badly the people out there on the other side, and in the middle, will react to this garbage?”

Yes. That’s why I decided not to post this video until the story broke. One of the big, but mostly overlooked, stories of this war is the average soldier’s ability to, with cell phones, digital cameras, and the internet, reach an audience of millions. That isn’t always a good thing and I don’t think it was intended with this video but I’ve learned more about this war from youtube.com than I have CNN or FOX.

Well, as a 10-year Marine veteran (SNCO, two tours in RVN), I can honestly say that if anyone in my units (Recon & 7th Marines) had done what Belile did, there would have been a stampede of NCOs/SNCOs to beat the shit out of him — and you may recall, we had a passing experience with combat conditions in ‘Nam. Do you assholes have any idea how badly the people out there on the other side, and in the middle, will react to this garbage? Do you have any idea how many more will fight, and how many more Marines (and other Americans) will die because of it? Marines these days are tougher physically, better educated, and much better paid than in the days of Vietnam, no question about it. All they seem to lack are leadership, discipline and judgement — a probable consequence of a rank-heavy Corps.

Hey Cpl. Joshua Belile, if you read this. I am also a song writer and musician. I wrote a good war tune you or your band might like. I dont think it would piss anyone off and you might make some money from it. I sent a copy to Yoko Ono but she sent it back unopened ha ha. Bitch. For a free copy send me an email address to tbags123@hotmail.com

I am sick and tired of you people whining about how tough our marines have it. You act like they didnt know it was going to be tough. They signed up, took the oath and got fucking paid for it. So STFU. No one is paying those damn marines to think. Their’s is not to reason why, their’s is but to do and DIE. They are Bush’s little bitch.

I know one of the “guys hanging around drinking coffee” with Josh, who helped him write some of the refrain–he’s my son, and he isn’t a racist or a violent madman, but a decent person and a good father, and an exemplary son, on his third tour in iraq (he was there for the invasion). It enrages me to see Josh in this kind of trouble for helping a bunch of marines have a good time. I oppose the war, I oppose the administration, but these guys are the jagged edge of the advance guard and there is no reason to oppose them. The song is funny, not intended to offend. In fact Josh and my son have many moslem friends on the base and they were all enjoying the song as well. No one was offended except those whose professional duty is to be offended. American troops, by and large, don’t understand Arabic–it sounds like gibberish to them.

2) to invade acountry cuz’ “they tried to kill my Dad” – Prez G. Bush

4) write a funny song to ease some of the mind cruching tension
5) Now you’re the one in trouble

Yes, friends, this is how America works these days.

Hadji Girl song

CAIR, in their efforts to attack the Marines over the trumped up Haditha case, has been attacking one who came up with a joke song called Hadji Girl on video, by taking it all out of context, and the MSM went about shilling for them. Michelle Malkin …

[...] Update 2: The Marine in the video is Cpl. Joshua Belile (hat tip: BlogsofWar). They also link to Joshua’s band’s website. And of course they sum this whole thing up the best: Insensitive? Marines insensitive? God I hope so. We need them to kick ass and follow orders but we don’t need them to be particularly sensitive. A sensitive Marine Corps will be the death of this country. [...]
