...shocking allegations over Haditha have, not surprisingly, sparked a wide range of strong reactions inside the Marine Corps. Many Marines think the squad on the ground that day overreacted and has brought dishonor to the Corps. "It looks like these Marines lost it and if that is the case, the Corps doesn't accept that," says one senior Marine officer. Others point out that Iraq is the one of the most complex battlefields the American military has ever fought in-and tried to do it with too few troops.

At any rate, better. By whinging, you dishonor your parents, yourself, and the entire Mid-West. Stop assuming a position of mental authority over these fawning, square state, mock turtleneck wearers. Instead, grasp real power. For ideas, watch Mean Girls and learn from Regina. Or watch Sophie’s Choice. Like, this one time, in high school, there...
