Trust your gut. It's more accurate than your heart.
On Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun:
Hassoun has reportedly been located in Lebanon and transported to Germany for medical treatment. Brave hero. Escapee. Made it to freedom.
The Gut is mulling this one over.
No one knew where he was. He disappeared shortly after a raid on his unit's compound. First report revealed that he had vanished, then the second report, after a video showing him bound by captors, announced him as captured. He is then announced by his 'captors' as released to an undisclosed location under conditions of a vow never to return to the U.S. Marines. His family reveals that they have been contacted to let them know he is free, but refuse to comment on his location. Now, he is located in Lebanon. A free marine. He is transported to a NATO country for treatment and or observation. His family then issues a press release to Muslim news sources that the only reason he was a marine at all, was for financial gain in dire straits. He immigrated to the U.S. from Lebanon and subsequently enlisted in The Corps for financial peace of mind, according to his family, and never would have done so if his family weren't in the financial condition they were in. This, in essence, was an apology to the Muslim community for one of their own taking up arms against them.
That's it, the Gut is done.
After all the fragmented reports, here is what the Gut says happened: Hassoun fled in the face of fire. His intentions were to travel to Lebanon overland, where he was snapped up by one of any number of insurgent factions. Given his intentions and beliefs, whoever snapped him up made a show, then aided him to his destination.
Mother Fucker.
This mutt fled his post in the face of the enemy. Given the current reports, and how fragmented they are, he may escape the UCMJ, or the U.S. Code, or even popular opinion. Up until this year I have never entertained the thought of ending the life of a complete stranger. This year brings two: Michael Moore and this little mutt. I couldn't even do something so trivial as capitalize the word Marine when refering to him. Stay out of pistol distance, my friend.
