re: LSU Football Players "implicated" in bar fight

Everyone needs to stop making a big deal over the guy being a Marine.
25 years ago when I was in the Marine Corps, Marines got into fights all the time and often lost. 90% of the fights in bars that I saw Marines in (and I participated in a few) involved Marines fighting other Marines.

There are NO heroes in a bar fight. The so-called witness who proclaimed the so-called Marine to be a "hero" is this fight was probably drunk as a skunk himself.

I'll tell you right now, I am 5'8" 165 lbs and at the peak of my conditioning I could not have fought a 6'5" 230 lb athlete. The Marine Corps doesn't train Marines for bar fights or to fight guys who are damn near twice your size. HELL, THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE A FACKING RIFLE, which the Marine Corps does an excellent job of training Marines to use.

But not in bar parking lots at 0200.
