"U.S. MARINE IS EXECUTED IN THE UNITED STATES"
BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS
If this story had involved a U.S. Marine stationed in Baghdad or either Afghanistan, and he had done something wrong, it would have been front page news. However, this story took place on the streets of an American city. The victim, a U.S. Marine was brutally murdered by gun wielding thugs!
I found this story "Buried" in my local "Antiwar--Ultraliberal Newspaper." The obvious hypocrisy of the socialists press regarding this story is fairly clear. If Lance Corporal, Robert Crutchfield, age 21, had killled an Iraqi insurgent, and if there were any questions surrounding the killing, this same newspaper would have had banner headlines about the killing. Lance Corporal Crutchfield would also be facing a court martial. In fact, the socialist press would be saying, "Bring In The Guilty Bastard."
But, there was "No Guantanamo infraction For These American Haters To Cry Over."
Perhaps in their minds, "Just Another Soldier,(The Term Given To Our Marines By Disrespectful So-Called Americans) who is dead.
This young Marine had just completed a tour of duty in Iraq. He was back home--sitting with his girlfriend--waiting for a bus in Cleveland, Ohio. Police say Crutchfield and his girlfriend were approached by Ean Farrow, 19, and Thomas Ray III, age, 20. While holding a gun on Crutchfield, the two punks turned his pockets inside out. Their take, approximately eight dollars. Common sense would say the two criminals would move on, after their net gain of less than ten dollars. Not this time. They reportedly told Lance Corporal Crutchfield, "Since You Are A Marine And You Don't Have Any Money--You Don't Deserve To Live."
Lance Corporal Crutchfield, a survivor of the brutal war in Irag, was shot point blank in the neck by his assailants.
Crutchfield didn't die immediately. In fact, this battle tested United States Marine, lasted four months, with the help of feeding and breathing tubes. But, on May 18, Lance Corporal Robert Crutchfield died of an infection.
Last Tuesday, a Marine honor guard carried his casket to his final resting place, the Western Reserve National Cemetry near Akron, Ohio. Ironically, Lance Corporal Crutchfield was laid to rest on the same day that a Vietnam Veteran, two Veterans from World War II, and lastly, three Vets from the Korean War were buried!
As many of you know, I am a former Marine. Marines are taught to follow orders. Even to this day, I will follow orders at times, "Without Any Thought."
Crutchfield was told to not carry no more than eight dollars on his person while home on leave. He didn't diviate from this command. For following the orders of his Commanders down to the very last dime, this young man was murdered by two maurauding night crawlers!
Prosecutors say they are mulling over the idea of seeking the death penalty for the two "Brave Killers Of An Unarmed United States Marine."
I've got a better idea, turn these two savages over to Lance Corporal Crutchfield's battallion. To make it fair, although they weren't fair to this young Marine, give them both guns.
Allow them time to adjust, and then turn lose, "Just Two United States Marines On These A-Holes."
My money says the two criminals won't walk out alive!
What say you?
Newspapers across America would say the "Civil Rights Of The Two Dead Punks Had Been Violated."
My response would be, "What About The Rights Of Lance Corporal Robert Crutchfield?"

I can't even begin to say how much these cold-blooded murders of young warriors goes all thru me. A good kid trying to the right things in his life and gets cut down while on leave from Iraq. Yeah, it bothers me on a very deep level.
