Now, that missing Muslim Marine's family got into a gunfight in Beirut!
ABCNEWS.com : Gunbattle Near U.S. Marine Hassoun's Lebanon Home
The truth really is stranger than fiction!
You couldn't make this up if you had to.
I don't what the real scoop is on this Hassoun guy is, but as far as I can figure out, he is AWOL from the U.S. military and has no business in Lebanon, even if his father lives there!
Nice to hear that he turned up OK in Lebanon, but it's now turned into a gunfight in the streets of Beirut (which used to be a daily happening there 20 years ago, but isn't anymore until today!) with at least 2 dead because they called his family "American collaborators."
Given this incident and the one at the beginning of OIF when the Muslim soldier threw the grenade into his CO's tent and killed him for "Islam," we need to screen our Muslim/Arab soldiers upon enlistment to determine if they have a higher allegiance to Allah than they do to defending this country.
