Support The Troops
I just got word of this via Protein Wisdom.
First, from Hot Air, an email encouraging supporters of “Hadji Girl” songster Cpl Belile to resist the PC sensibilities that have turned an ironic, fictional narrative set to music into the newest incarnation of the Danish Mohammed cartoon gambit—a way to delegitimize criticism of “Islamic culture” by claiming “offense” and decrying the “insensitivity” of the offender:
Please contact:
Commandant of the Marine Corps
Phone: (703) 614-1034
Fax: (703) 614-2358
comrel@hqmc.usmc.mil
And then this via Blackfive:
I asked the PAO Mike Barton a few questions:
Had he seen the video? Yes
Did he think it was funny? Can't comment, and he didn't chuckle or anything, guy's a real pro.
What part of the video did he consider clearly inappropriate? Can't comment
What type of inquiry is being conducted and what sections of the UCMJ are in play? This is a quick and informal inquiry, an investigative tool that will determine if there were any violations. Just a fact-finding mission
I would like to believe that this inquiry would conclude that he did nothing wrong and USMC HQ was shameful for kow towing to CAIR, but they have showed zero spine thus far…….so. I'm back corresponding again. This time to:
Robert E. Milstead, Jr.
Brigadier General, U.S. Marine Corps
Commanding General, 2D MAW
So please contact the above individuals and make it known that there are Americans who do not subscribe to the beliefs of certain vocal pressure groups who know how to make a lot of noise with their publicity machines.

Do not punish this young man he is a Marine and has fought for his country. He has done his duty. The Miltary should be protecting our Marines and bringing them home. Please dont punish him or deny his right for FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
Proud Parent of a Marine
