The United States Marine Corp has always been a proud, dedicated and professional band of warriors. The incident which took place in Afghanistan, where a Marine Special Operations unit is accused of excessive force to a bombing can not be allowed to change one single perspective of the legends they so rightly deserve.
I was not a Marine, but as an old warhorse I can attest to the fact they are the bravest band of warriors I have ever seen or met, there was a time I would have stormed into hell with anyone of them, they have my respect.
The Marine Special Operations unit is rather a new concept within the Corps, who traditionally refused to become a part of SOCOM, saying that every Marine was already a specialized warrior. However, times and the specialized response to a given situation has changed and the Corps has changed with it and they entered the Special Operations community.
The incident whish took place in Afghanistan was the units first test under fire. Here is the basic thrust of the incident as reported in The Marine Corps Times, "A U.S. military commander has determined that special operations Marines accused of killing civilians after a suicide bombing in Afghanistan last month used excessive force, and he has referred the case to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service for a broader inquiry, The Associated Press has learned."
This incident cannot re justified and blame will be determined by a military court. However, this should in no way demean the entire unit, of which these Marines were a part of.
SOCOM personnel must subscribe to a higher standard then the balance of the military. These specialized individuals are asked to do things that make the movies from Hollywood look like kindergarten; these are the real deal, not the Hollywood contrived.
The first thing anyone will notice with these individuals is the higher standards and caliber of professionalism to which they subscribe. This event that took place should not and cannot be allowed to blemish the image of the Corps, SOCOM, or any unit within.
