U.S. Marine shot and wounded at Mexican checkpoint

@ 01:21 PM (1 month, 14 days ago)

Very skimpy information. I hope he is ok and, sadly, because of the political climate, I wonder if we'll ever get the real skinny. "Private, if you open your mouth you'll be digging up IEDs in Iraq with a teaspoon, blindfolded." Who knows, maybe he was doing something way wrong, we'll, hopefully, get the truth.

Whazzup with this?

Rosarito Beach Mexico: Mexican authorities say they are investigating a shooting of a U.S. Marine early yesterday morning in which Mexican marines shot and wounded Pfc. Joshua Kendall Monnet who they say was driving a vehicle near a checkpoint.

Mexican military authorities based in Ensenada Baja said the marines at the checkpoint indicated to Monnet that he should stop his vehicle. They said the Mexican marines opened fire shortly thereafter. Most of the details that led to the shooting are being with held by Mexican authorities. Calls to the Mexican Marines and other Ensenada civilian authorities shed very little light on what actually happened.

U.S. Marine authorities at Camp Pendleton California said the information was new to them; however they would be looking into the matter and check whether the shooting involved a Camp Pendleton Marine.

More than likely a case of *BLAM BLAM BLAM* STOP AMERICAN OR WE SHOOT!....or maybe there is the off chance that he was drunk and got a little unruly, but I doubt it.....riff
