I don’t normally comment on current events, but there is hardly a day that goes by without someone trying to trash my Marine Corps… The latest incident occurred yesterday when I found the out the Marines were going to “investigate” a video that is making the rounds on the internet of a young Corporal singing a song called “Hadji girl” that was written by this young lad while stationed in Iraq. The Islamic American terrorist culture clan is all up in arms about the song because they claim it glorifies the killing of innocent Iraqi civilian’s.
I found the purported video on You-tube.com and watched the whole thing over and over again. It’s actually a fantastic song and has a snazzy beat to it. The story line is this, he is on patrol and during a firefight looks up to see the most beautiful Iraqi girl who can’t speak English but says “Kurka, Kurka, Mohammad Jihad” which is a line out of a puppet movie “Team America” that the middle eastern terrorist say because the creators didn’t know any Arabic, so they made that up. She takes him to her house and as soon as the door is opened he hits the deck, taking cover because both the Father and brother, who are insurgents, open fire on this young Marine. They kill their own daughter/sister and the Marine grabs the little sister standing there to use as a human shield (this is the sick funny part, knowing that a Marine would never do that and the terrorist do) and they kill the sister. The Marine in the song opens up with his M-16 and kills the two insurgents. The song basically depicts killings but they are done by the girls own family members, it is not the Marine killing innocent civilians.
This video was not posted by the Marine, but someone else who thought it was a good song. The liberals out there can slam me all they want but you know what? If I was the investigating officer on this case, I would tell the kid to knock it off and be sensitive to the feelings of the terrorist around the world (all the while giving him a slight wink) and then after I slapped his hands, I would ask for a copy for myself!!! Listen up all you folks who think this kid should be shot for his song, there are gang bangers out there making millions of dollars for their rap songs depicting the killing of police officers and people in authority… if you don’t sound off every day about that (oh I forgot, they are covered under free speech) then lay off this Marine!! To the Marines, please remember that songs about our enemies have been written during every war. Hell I remember marching in OCS in 1986 to the following tune
“I want to go to Viet-Nam,
I want to kill some Viet-Cong,
I got my gun in my hand, now I’m a happy man
Sound off, one two, knock it on down and turn it around, four, three, two one…”
I bet the North Vietnamese wouldn’t like it much, or the slanderous nicknames of our enemies in WWII, both in Europe and Asia. This is something that will happen during wars and you have to expect that these feelings are coming out in our Marines and Army troopers now after almost three years of battle. Three years!!! Just think about it, almost a year shy of the time we spent in WWII where we lost millions of lives.
Well, Young Corporal, if you read this out there in internet land, know that I support you and must say that if you made Hadji Girl into a record, I would buy ten copies!!! Don’t let the political police of the land get you down or the liberals who would hate you because you are a Marine just the same.
Semper Fi,
Taco

Hey Taco! I’ve had this video for months and nobody who has seen it has been upset. In fact, there has been laughter all around! If he records it, I’ll buy a few copies myself just to show support. I’m completely sick of our military getting trashed.
June 16, 2006 at 3:10 am
Taco,
I guess the liberals forgot to tell you, freedom of speech does not apply to the military. Only knee-jerk reactionary liberals get to exercise the freedoms you risked your ass for.

Why can’t we have a Hadji Boy song with the sexes reversed all the way through?
June 16, 2006 at 9:07 am
I concur, Taco!
I’m not surprised at the anti-military behavior of the leftist commies, as they continue to show their true nature.
I am surprised that some of the top brass are “investigating” this young Hero!
He has done nothing wrong, and they should encourage him, IMO!
They should grow a pair and tell the commies to pack sand!
June 16, 2006 at 1:10 pm
I thought the video was funny as heck! I was then really disappointed when the Marine was forced to apologize for the song – CAIR be damned!
ben’s right: tell the commies to pound sand and “Dirka, Dirka, Mohammed jihad!”
June 16, 2006 at 1:34 pm
Good one Taco!
That video and song has been around for a while now, but think it’s just making waves due to political moves now!
Cpl. Belile’s band is the Sweater Kittenz
If you go to http://www.michellemalkin.com
on her site she has a lot of info about the group…and the great pic of the band..you gotta see that! The do have cd’s out but don’t see Hadji Girl listed …yet!

Saw the video last night and it was nothing like one would expect after listening to news reports. This song emphasizes how the “bad” guys use children as human shields. That’s the part of it that groups like CIAR don’t want out there. And you’re right Taco, Rappers get a pass all the time and we wonder what’s happening to the kids in our Country? Our great military fights for free speech and they don’t get any?? Hey, the big Brass should be on Murthas’ ass and leave these young devil dogs alone! Ohhhh I could go on and on but I want to enjoy the weekend!
June 16, 2006 at 7:19 pm
Wow, a real bunch of intellectuals you have reading your blog there, Taco.
I agree with you that this is probably much to do about nothing, but in light of the news that some Marines are alledged to have gunned down 24 Iraqi citizens in cold blood, I’d say the response from the Corps. is appropiate.
I don’t think there’s anyone out there “trashing” your Marines, I think if you could get passed the right wing paranoia you seem to be suffering from, you’d see that most people expect better of our soldiers, particularly the Marines, who are the elite fighting force of the world.
If we allow this sort of thing to go on, this glorifying of killing innocent people, then what makes us any different than the people we’re fighting?
I worry a lot about the corrosive effect this pointless war is having on our fighting forces and think that if we don’t get back home and retoll, we’ll have nothing left for a a real threat to our nation.
If you care to, see my blog and read what I wrote about Hadith and Ishaqi and you’ll see that, even though I’m one of those dirty commie liberals, I support our troops too.

Hear, Hear!! The young man did something funny on his own time, and all this ‘investigation’ crap starts up. But it’s somehow okay for sitting congress-critters to belittle the Marines, the military in general, and the President? *Grrrrrrr … Must control fist-of-death*
June 16, 2006 at 11:03 pm
I finally found the video and I am offended. Truly offended…at whatever jerk first started making such a fuss over this whole thing.
What a bunch of asshats to make such a big damn deal over this song. Is this the worst thing the big guys have to worry about right now? Good grief. Somebody needs to get a reality check.
Give this kid a break. Give the soldiers and marines over there a break. They’re out their busting their ass doing what none of us have the balls to do. If they need a little craziness now and then, then I say go for it. Do what you need to do to relieve stress and laugh and smile.
Off colored humor is part of the military and law enforcement and fire fighting and so on. They do it because of what they go through and what they see. It’s always been this way. It will always be this way.
Who exactly did this song hurt? I heard laughter in the video. And I bet there were a lot of people sitting there smiling and tapping their feet.
HELLO OUT THERE! Give our boys a break. Let them do the job that you sent them over there to do. And you’d better be damn glad that they signed on the dotted line to do it in the first place. Get off their ass.
Better yet..get off your ass and go with them for a few weeks. Then when you come back, see what it takes to make you smile and laugh after going through what they go through 24/7/365.
Okay, I feel better now.
June 17, 2006 at 3:44 am
Damn, Mrs455 you said it all. I won’t need to say much ado after you, just that I 2nd what you said.
You (the MSM, commie liberal bastards) have no right to critize our Marines until you have walked in there boots. Get off your ass and join them instead of sitting on your comfy couch bitching.
OORAH!!!
Proudly Standing Beside My US Marine

Saw the HG video and critics are misrepresenting it for their own selfish political ends. In this song, HG obviously took Marine to an ambush and Marine defended himself in a firefight. End of story.
June 17, 2006 at 5:21 am
Did you hear CAIR protesting when the terrorists showed videos of Americans being beheaded? If they want to complain about something, complain about that! It’s OUR Marines that give those jackasses freedom of speech. I don’t give a rat’s ass about politically correct so go screw yourself CAIR! That’s MY freedom of speech. OOOOHH RAH!
June 17, 2006 at 8:01 pm
If we allow this sort of thing to go on, this glorifying of killing innocent people, then what makes us any different than the people we’re fighting?
Huh??!!
“Bushmeister,” The only innocent people killed in that song are the two daughters of the people who attack the Marine. And they were killed by their own family!
June 17, 2006 at 8:38 pm
Actually Bushmeister0, Taco does have a bunch of real intellectuals reading his blog whether or not their writing style reflects it at the time or whether or not any of them would admit it. You are in better company than you know when read this blog. I am proud of the Marines and other troops who are fighting for the freedoms which according to your blog, the Miami library is trying to compromise.Thanks for pointing that out. Go Marines!
June 17, 2006 at 9:05 pm
Well said, Taco! I wish the libs, et al would just leave our Marines alone!!!! They make me ill! God Bless the USMC!!!

We are in PC Mode.
Jokes are not allowed.
Denigrating titles-for anyone-are not allowed.
We don’t want to hurt their feelings!
Of course, if they get here, they are going to convert or kill you.
Kill you= saw your head off with a dull knife.
June 17, 2006 at 10:56 pm
We are in a NEW AGE:
You are not allowed to tell jokes.
You are not allowed to denigrate those who would kill you.
You must not hurt their feelings.
Of course, when they get here, they will convert or kill you.
Kill=saw your head off with a dull knife.
June 17, 2006 at 10:57 pm
Why is it that freedom of speech only applies to certain people? I could swear that way back when I was in elementary school, I was taught that was a freedom that ALL Americans were given. Silly me. It must be the New Civis class, you know like the new math?
June 18, 2006 at 2:32 pm
Hey guys,
An old saying comes to mind right now and that’s “Never wrestle with a pig, you’ll never win, they love rolling around in the filth and you just end up muddy!”
I hope that all of you have a great weekend and happy Fathers day out there to the guys!!
OOOOOOHHHH RRRRhhhhhaaaaaa

For me, the humor is appropriate to soldiers, and it should remain within the ranks. The a-hole I would like to nail, is the ones that are sharing it with the newspapers!
You notice the newspapers didn’t print one copy of the picture of the Marine holding up his middle finger after NOT being killed by an IED? Not one explanation, not one copy….. it wasn’t a story about how we abuse the Iraqis, so it wasn’t newsworthy… it would have stirred the hearts of every American red-blooded male, and at least half of the females. Any body who doesn’t live in the northeast seaboard, or the western Coast! Can’t have pictures like that stirring up support for the troops, can we?
Has anyone noticed that lately the media are attacking individual soldiers? there is no more “Hate Bush, but support our guys”? Two years ago, they would not have dared to critisize that HG movie.
They are gradually coming out of the closet, guys….. cancel subscriptions, refuse to buy or read the liberal rags..
If we let them go on attacking individual soldiers, they will get worse and worse… pretty soon we’ll be reading how they are all animals!
I caught the tail end of 60 minutes last night, waiting for another show to come on…. my jaw hit the deck when Andy Rooney came on and blathered for 10 minutes about how the military machine was “bloated already”, spending billions and billions for nothing…how we should all quit spending money on the military and get back to the Welfare programs, to help the “unfortunates”. I almost gagged on my coffee…..
What are those unfortunates gonna do under an Al Queda regime? Heck, Andy baby, what will you do? They will trample all over your civil rights, hon….. and there won’t be one military guy to stand in their way….
Taco’s right… we need to shut these guys down by not arguing with them, by not buying their rags, by not visisting their websites…. give them no validation, and they will be bankrupt….. they are already heading that way, now!

Becky K, the entire west coast is not in the same category as the Hollyweird liberals. You’ve probably insulted lot of good people in the NE too. The hood of our car is custom painted with a waving U.S. Flag and soaring eagle. The car also has red, white and blue upholstery. (Ask Taco, he has seen pictures of it.) My husband even ordered license plate frames that say “God Bless Our Troops!” Don’t assume that the only ones who respect and support our Armed Forces are those who live in the middle and the south of this country. Now, if you want to put your money where your mouth is make a donation towards Capt B’s full page “had enough” ad. You can read about it on his blog, One Marine’s View. We already sent in our donation, when will you?
June 20, 2006 at 2:41 pm
Your take on it matches mine. It’s a campfire song that never should have been posted on the internet. I’m sure the reaction would have been different if it wasn’t for the youtube copy.
June 20, 2006 at 6:50 pm
Well said Taco. Gads, I would hate some of the songs my husband wrote in college with his buds be spread around. They were jokes, as this song is. Certain occupations have odd humor outlets, not always understood by everyone else. Ask anyone who works in the medical field! I remember being at a party with my husband’s friend, who was a gynecologist at a local clinic. He really is a very caring guy, but some comments and jokes he told…well, let’s just say militant NOW members would probably have beheaded him.
I want to know where is the MSM outrage that our two captured soldiers were tortured and then killed?! Too busy being the PC police and “busting” Marines for being insensitive.Pathetic.
Semper gratus,
Donna

It’s interesting to note that I went on Bushmeister0’s blog and commented over a week ago that I agreed with his stand on the Miami Library System Problem and isn’t great that our troops fight to protect our right to free speech. Nothing long, no name-calling, no swearing. He didn’t print it. I have since noticed he doesn’t seem to print comments, at all.
June 27, 2006 at 6:47 pm
I do not remember where I recently read another blog about the same issue, but the blog provided a name and e-mail address for others to write in support of Cpl.Belile. (I am on vacation, so I can not check what site I was on) I am sending you the address, and encourage everyone to write and support our Marine. I don’t remember the Commandant’s name, but here is his e-address:
comrel@hqmc.usmc.mil
Example of letter:
Commandant of the Marine Corps,
I would like to express to you, my support for Cpl. Belile. I strongly urge you NOT to take action against him, especially when it is based on the complaints of our enemies. These soldiers need a stress release. This was an innocent stress relief among Marine Corp members. It was not Cpl. Belile’s indiscretion of putting the video on the internet. If ANYONE has earned the right to freedom of speech, it is a U.S. soldier! I do not think that for a Marine to have or not have disciplinary action taken against him, should rely on how many letters of support (or even letters of those offended) you receive. His actions should stand on their own merit, and in this case, Cpl. Belile has done nothing wrong. Thank you for your time in reading this letter.
June 28, 2006 at 3:57 pm
Hey Taco,
Just say this on Blackfive about Hadji Girl: Marine Josh Belile has been exonerated and “Hadji Girl” is getting a professional makeover. Check it out.

Yea!…as it should…..
ARLINGTON, Va. — The Marine Corps has decided not to take disciplinary action against a Marine whose song “Hadji Girl” drew condemnation from a Muslim-American advocacy group and spawned a preliminary inquiry, according to the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing.
