Marine general: It's 'fun to shoot people' - GoFuckYourself.com

OK .....

Quote:

"Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot," Mattis said, prompting laughter from some military members in the audience. "It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you. I like brawling.

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil," Mattis said. "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."

Mattis' press office has not yet responded to a request to answer questions about his comments.

However, the Marine commandant, Gen. Michael Hagee, defended Mattis, calling him "one of this country's bravest and most experienced military leaders."

Lt. Gen. James Mattis, right, speaks during a panel discussion Wednesday.

They train people in the military to not view others as people but objects...one of the ways they were able to get these guys to distance themselves from emotion when shooting at people was by using silhouette targets.

Saw an interesting documentary and I wont' quote numbers because it's been so long since I've seen it on Discovery channel or TLC but anyway every war before the vietnam war the actual % of soldiers who fired their weapons was something lower than 25%...they revamped their whole way of training these guys and in Vietnam increased to well over something like 75%...and you wonder why so many of those guys were fucked in the head.

abadfish · 02-03-2005, 10:55 PM

It probably is fun to shoot people... think of it in his shoes... they are the enemy... every person he kills can no longer kill him.

People play paintball for fun.

People shoot people when playing paintball for fun.

Not much of a difference there.

Yeah, it is fun. I remember playing wargames when I was in the Marines. It's an awesome changes on so many different levels. You start off with massive troop movements, all trying to zero in on each other. After a bit all of the thousands of troops involved matter less and less, until it's one man against another man - or one man against three men.

And when you walk away from it, it's a fucking rush.

Granted, I've never seen live combat but I trained for it for four years of my life. I have yet to find anything that comes close.

Mr Pheer · 02-04-2005, 12:56 AM

I was in Somalia and there wasnt a fun thing about any of it.

Yeah its all fun and games till its real. And when it real you cant just say ok I dont want to play anymore.

nofx · 02-04-2005, 12:58 AM

fuck yea, i love fragging people

pornguy · 02-04-2005, 01:01 AM

I can understand what he means, but voicing that was a dman stupid thing to do.

Zerof8 · 02-04-2005, 01:03 AM

I guess I am one of the assholes. I don't care about other people much and I never have. If you arent related or a friend of mine I probably dont care much if you live or die. I believe this because thats the way life is. Who gives a fuck if someone who doesnt effect you dies? if you do then you need to toughen up. Fuck life is what it is. We all live we all die.

Taken in the context of his entire conversation he's 100% right - kill 'em all!

What's funny is that I was just getting ready to say the same thing.

Personally, I like knowing the guys defending our shores have no qualms about what they do. It is important to enjoy your work.
