Angry Muslims
Let's say that I'm a US Marine. And let's say that I'm in Iraq. I'm wearing my helmet and I've got my gun. My company has just concluded a fierce battle. I've shot and killed several enemy fighters and several enemy fighters have shot at me but thankfully I wasn't hit.
Let's say that I enter a house in the center of town. Me and three of my buddies. We've secured the perimeter but we still don't know for sure what we might encounter when go inside. I'm the second guy in. As I run through one of the doors I see three bodies laying on the ground. None of them move, all are apparently dead.
As I move forward scanning the room, I see out of the corner of my eye one of the bodies begin to move. First his torso moves slightly, then I see his right arm as it reaches for something.
I have a split second to react. What do I do? Do I do nothing and hope that this man is unarmed? Do I expect the best and not protect myself and my fellow Marines?
Hell no! I'm gonna shoot ANYTHING or ANYONE that moves. It's a matter of SELF DEFENSE. I AM GOING TO PROTECT MYSELF and MY BUDDIES. Are you people crazy? Are you really telling me NOT TO PROTECT MYSELF? Is that what you're saying?
Be as angry with me as you want. I don't care. You'd do the same thing in my position. You'd protect yourself at all costs. And I'll do it again, as long as I'm here. It's a war and we'll keep fighting.
