Shooting People Is Fun `

Reuters' Top News Article:
"Actually it's quite fun to fight 'em, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up front with you, I like brawling," said [James] Mattis.

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil," Mattis said... "You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."
Maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal if Mattis wasn't speaking at a conference as a senior General who led U.S. Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan, and commander of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command at Quantico, VA.

For their part, the Management acted in its traditionally swift and responsible manner:
Gen. Peter Pace, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, praised the general as having set a stellar example for troops in his service abroad.
No discipline is expected. After all, where's the problem?
