Teaching Marines to be like hunters

[nhboy]

"Trying to become predators instead of prey, Marines headed to Iraq will go through training built on advice from big-game hunters, soldiers of fortune and troops who grew up around firearms in the woods or the inner city.

The "body" of a mock Iraqi police officer shot by an enemy sniper was carried off during an exercise for the Combat Hunter program, which is training troops to unleash deadly force only after determining it is warranted.
Combat Hunter, a program begun at Camp Pendleton and now being rolled out nationwide, is designed to help Marines stalk and kill insurgents by using their senses and instincts. It emphasizes keen observation of Marines' surroundings and meticulous knowledge of their foes' habits.

“This is the most comprehensive training of its kind in our history,” said Col. Clarke Lethin, chief of staff for the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Pendleton."

Yes, because he's so out of touch, it's news only when someone finally posts something about it on one of his progressive/leftist habitats.

Because anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice, just to make sure. Ammo is cheap.

Perhaps Mothers of America will find fault that the Corps is seeking self defense methods that involve killing your enemy and bringing their boys home. Maybe we should give the enemy some Hash and smoke it out with them.
