STAND BY YOUR MATES

It is 7:32 a.m. Can you guess where Mr. Grumpy-Growly is? Asleep at my feet on his afghan.

A Navy corpsman has been given a one year sentence as part of a plea bargain in a Courts Martial. For his reduced sentence, he agreed to testify against seven U.S. Marines also charged, with kidnapping and murder of an Iraqui. They will face possible execution. While we don't condone murder, we do realize that lines get blurred in the Fog of War. What smells to us about this is that this sailor is ratting out the Marines to save his own hide. Unless he really had nothing to do with it except knowledge of it, and the JAG charged him just so they could force him to testify, and that sucks also. Maybe the Marines shosuld have their own corpsmen, who are Marines?

Today the Gators continue their October of Hell, this time against LSU, who beat the gators last year, but not by much. They have a hell-fire QB so it should be interesting. I'm planning on serving popcorn soaked in garlic butter and Parmesan Cheese, while we watch the game on national TV. (Got to get our calcium, eh?)

GO GATORS!
