What an idiot.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A senior U.S. Marine Corps general who said it was "fun to shoot some people" should have chosen his words more carefully but will not be disciplined, military officials said on Thursday.

"Actually it's quite fun to fight 'em, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up front with you, I like brawling," Mattis said.

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil," Mattis said during a panel discussion. "You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."

In the IRA and their evil moral equivalent nemesis-morons (UFF, UVF) often employ criminals to do their dirty work, but under the guise of 'the cause'. I don't think this behaviour is strictly limited to guerilla units, however. People like the above Mattis give the morally upright soldiers of the west a bad name.

It's fun to shoot people who have no manhood?

I hope the US limits their domestic troop deployment to their airports. What a freak.
