The Marine
I’m the good guy, you’re the bad guy,
I’m fighting for freedom.
I want to do things my way -
I’ll sacrifice my life to kill you.
The Terrorist
I’m the good guy, you’re the bad guy,
I’m fighting for freedom.
I want to do things my way -
I’ll sacrifice my life to kill you.

The difference is the Marine defends ideals such as freedom of speech, woman’s rights, and general freedom for the individual. The terrorist, well, you saw what they did to journalist Daniel Pearl.
******* I seem to remember somewhere called Abu Ghraib. Oh, and lots of Afghan wedding parties being bombed. Oops a daisy. Oh, and 100,00 people (Iraqis) killed in a nonsense war that had nothing, zero, to do with 9/11. Or anything at all, in fact, since Rumsfeld famously shook hands with Saddam Hussein when it suited America to financially support and be best mates with him. That kind of large-scale death is terrorism on a BIG scale, isn’t it? I wonder if this site is blacklisted to US military personnel …. *********
