At least one Marine has some lessons to teach us about Iraqi wedding customs
Neophyte Pundit shares the following from a Marine in Iraq:
Speaking of the media: for those of you, who have heard or read of the 'wedding' incident, remember this: Iraqis get married on Mondays and Thursdays. They do not get married on Wednesday mornings. They don't get married at 3 a.m. on Wednesday mornings. They don't get married in the middle of a wadi in the middle of a bleak desert 6 miles from the Syrian border at 3 a.m. on a Wednesday morning. We do not target civilians. We do kill terrorists and terrorist leadership. And we make very damned certain they are terrorists before we kill them.
