What's heroic about blowing yourself and your pals to kingdom come? As the NRA would say, "A responsible blower-upper wouldn't have done that"

Seven Marines were killed and eight wounded late Monday when a 60mm mortar round exploded during a training exercise at the Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada, according to military and defense officials.
A senior defense official said it appears that a mortar round exploded inside a firing tube instead of flying out. The official, speaking on background, cautioned that initial reports on the incident, which occurred around 10 p.m. Monday, could change on the cause.

Shameless Harry Reid Uses Dead Marines to Fearmonger on Sequester.....
As Ben Shapiro would say, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is dancing on the graves of dead Marines in order to score political points. Today during remarks on the Senate floor about an explosion at an Army base in Nevada last night that killed seven Marines during a training exercise, Reid shamelessly implied sequestration and cut backs in funding were to blame for the accident.
Just for clarification purposes, when Reid referred to "Mr. President" during his remarks, it wasn't in reference to President Obama, but the presiding officer of the U.S. Senate.
The Marine Corps isn't happy:
NBC's Jim Miklaszewski reports: Now I can tell you, Marine Corps officials this afternoon are taking a strong exception to what Harry Reid implied. Saying that this exercise, for example, was planned well in advance, had nothing to do with the budget cuts. There were no corners cut, and if they couldn't afford to have all the safety precautions into place, they wouldn't do the exercise.
And in fact, one Marine Corps official told us a short time ago that he considers this nothing but pure political posturing on the backs of these dead Marines.....snip~

Looks like Good Ole Harry proves what a scumbag he is and has always been. Seems he has the same concept as Hillary. What difference does it make.!
Harry Reid is a scumbag piece of ****.

as a veteran, i think he understands what he is sayingThey signed up for their country. That's heroic. Regardless of how they died. No one said they were heroes because they got blown up. You'd understand that if you weren't so busy trying to be a nuisance.
only took the better part of four years, but i found one of your posts i can agree with
