And I am not getting into a flame war over this.
Just saying that many of the Marines in Haiti have a BAD ATTITUDE TO THEIR SAFE, PAID WORK.

If you doubt the story -fine - but that does not mean id did not happen.
Guilty until proven innocent?
That sounds fun.
They should learn some manners and a little respect.
I have several good friends on the ground with the UN right now and they have reported back that the people are remarkably well behaved considering, and the main disruption is infact gun waving a$$holes treating people like corralled dogs rather than human beings.
Now stick a bunch of Americans in a similar situation and see how far you might get with getting them to conform to being tret like a dog and spoken to equally. I would imagine the average American would break down, cry an then talk about suing someone about something.
And so should you. In ANY large group there are ALWAYS
going to be a few bad apples. That doesn't make the whole barrel sour does it.
I'll go get the fire extinguisher now while you attempt to get a life.
Siegs as in Heil??
Cute but shallow.
Norwegian by birth but I appreciate your curiosity.
If you are going to quote me then do not insert stuff I did not say.I didn't insert anything yet. And if I did you would know it.
Have a little respect.Share a little get a little. Lot of young men and women (of ALL nationalities by the way) helping alot people right across the border.THAT'S what I respect.
If you do not like what I say, fine.Fine.
But are you calling me a liar??Absolutely not. How 'bout dinner?

Dinner sounds fine....thanks..
We could discuss your theory of a few bad apples. Ready.
They have an entire industry of police and a legal system to deal with the bad apples because it was decided by those who created our society that it was important to do sometihng about it. Industry of police? We hardly have any industry left in this country (US). Or you may be speaking of a different nation? Or planet ???
The Marines answer to nobody but the Marines in a situation like this. I'm quite sure there are veterans reading this that would disagree with this. It's called democracy.
It is only when the bad apples do something newsworthy that everybody jumps on board and they get stuck in jail. You said it and are a PRIME example. Thank you.
That will not happen here.Nor should it to those undeserving.
There is no redress.No there isn't. I (personally) would like to think this country as well as others offer their help unconditionally.
That sucks.
You misunderstood me slightly, I wasn't having a bash at the US as a whole or only the US, only using them as an example, just you guys seem to enjoy suing each other more than any other nation and have a bit of a rep in certain areas and issues regarding the military, so used you as an example.
No, there are many many gun waving a$$holes out there apparently, fortunately not all are equal with equal opinions and dumba$$ attitudes.
As for you..........well you are an exception, you seem to slip quite comfortably into the dumba$$ skip with the rest of the $hit. Carry on.
So as far as you are concerned, these paid workers can do what they like 'unconditionally'.
Well if you have sunk that far into your American dream then there is little hope.
The point remains - there are Marines behaving as though they are at war in Haiti. They are being rude and aggressive to the very folks they are allegedly helping - and they should not do this.
By the way - have you ever been to Haiti?
You will find that no matter where the UN are they use armoured vehicles, they are standard in a distaster and peace keeping situations, or were you not aware of that? I am I have worked in Sudan with the UN for 4 years (it might get a little expensive if they have to custom each vehicle to each specific situation) I expect not as you have little to say of importance or relevance in this post. Your main objective seems to be to try to put others down to cheer yourself up, sad sad sad.
My input is from those working on the ground in close contact, so how is it of little importance, seems relevant to the discussion, no?
Please don't reply, just keep that bar propped up and posting the usual drunken drivel.
That is all well and good.
But why would a Marine point blank refuse to use a radio at the Petionville Country Club to try and organise help for a little child that was run over by a water truck?
Just use the radio??
If you ever meet the Royal Marines you would find them courteous at all times. They are trained to represent their country with dignity. Even when they are blowing you bits.
Again, there is no excuse for what happened.
And for any marines out there NEVER point a gun at me unless you intend to use it!
