Dead-Checking

Soccerdad over at The Left Coaster has a good post on Dead-Checking, something the Marines are trained to do when they enter a building under hostile conditions. Go read it.
I will neither be critical of Mr Sites for taking and publishing the pictures or of the Marine who was only doing what he was trained to do to protect his own life and the lives of his fellows. This is what happens in war, it's not pleasant and the American people need to know that. The more you know about war the less likely you are to support it.
