In defense of General Mattis

Many in the lamestream media have been aghast over commenst made by LGEN Mattis last week. Basically, the good General mentioned in a speech that he like killing terrorist scum. Well, the best article I've seen on the subject was written by Ralph Peters (hat tip to Betsy's Page). Well worth reading.

Speaking of appreciating the Marines who take incredible risks in order to protect us, Chris of A Large Regular has a link to a story of generosity by the Cleveland Browns. The Browns donated 50 tickets to tonight's Super Bowl to Marines who recently returned from overseas. The article doesn't mention that Al Lerner the late owner of the Browns got his start in life as a Marine.
