Drop murder charges, Pantano prober urges

"An investigating officer has recommended that the Marine Corps drop murder charges against 2nd Lt. Ilario Pantano, who shot to death two Iraqi insurgents a year ago during a raid on an insurgent hideout in the "Triangle of Death. Col. Winn recommended that Lt. Pantano face administration punishment for firing too many rounds at the two men."

What!? Too many rounds at the enemy!? This is the Marine Corps! This is war!

"Airwinger," in a post at http://www.military-forums.net/eve couldn't have said it better:

"So the old adage from so many T-shirts, "When in doubt, empty the magazine" rang true... when it's your Six on the line and you're not 100% sure, don't just empty the magazine, empty two of them. That way they can't pull a grenade pin with their dieing breath."
