Hadji Girl Outrage

Great. Now they are talking about screwing with his career. Apparently you can go off to fight for America. You just aren't entitled to all of her rights. It's pathetic if the military caves to CAIR on this.

Cpl. Joshua Belile thought up the words to “Hadji Girl” in September while drinking coffee with buddies in Iraq.

It was just a joke, Belile says, a play on lines from a movie. His fellow Marines seemed to enjoy the song, so they got Belile up on a stage with his guitar.

Someone taped his performance, and now Belile stands in the center of a growing controversy, one that threatens to drag the New River Air Station Marine and his blackly humorous song into the debate about the alleged incident at Haditha and the war in Iraq.

The four-minute, 13-second video of Belile’s performance was initially posted to the Internet site YouTube. The song tells the story of a Marine in Iraq who falls in love with an Iraqi girl. The girl takes the Marine to her family’s house.

But the family shoots the girl and then points their “AKs” at the Marine. The Marine then grabs the Iraqi girl’s little sister and “put her in front of me.”

“As the bullets begin to fly, the blood sprayed from between her eyes and then I laughed maniacally,” according to the song’s lyrics. “Then I hid behind the TV and I locked and loaded my M-16, I blew those little (expletive) to eternity.”

Belile, a 23-year-old who lives in Jacksonville and serves with Marine Light/Attack Helicopter Squadron 167, said the song was meant only as a joke, based on lines from “Team America: World Police” and that he apologizes to people who may have been offended by the lyrics.

hopefully his apology, and an apology from the marines will be enough and the issue will be over. I can see where some might consider the song in poor taste but he certainly wasn't breaking any laws. I thought the song was funny, AND in the song the marine followed the rules of engagement, he was fired on first then he returned fire. They shouldn't have f^^cked with a marine!

Maybe the critics out there need to spend a little time on the front line with bullets whizzing by their heads before they pass judgement on this guy. Who the hell are they to say what is funny to a guy who's life is on the line every day?

Oh my God, do these idiots have nothing better to do than resurrect footage from a little R&R and put it to press for discussion?

I'll give them a few:
Dirty Hot Sex by Pepper
So don't be afraid when my pants start to leak
You know damn well I'm in my sexual peak

Well...

Why don't you have some dirty hot sex with me?
It ain't like I'm asking you to give it up for free
We can start it right now
Baby get on your knees
Don't make me beg again
Girl I just said please, please
Yeah
Now when you look down don't be mislead
I found my life purpose and it's getting upstairs into your bed
Now, there's a phone girl, go right on ahead
I'm sure you'd rather be with your stupid boyfriend instead

[FloridaPatty]

Need more...here's another. This one got TOP US OF A AIRPLAY but you idiots are too stupid to understanding the lyrics to the beat you were snapping your fingers to! (Leave the troops alone morons.)

Fuck You Like An Animal- Nine Inch Nailsyou let me violate you
you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you
you let me complicate you

help me
i broke apart my insides
help me
i've got no soul to sell
help me
the only thing that works for me
help me get away from myself

i want to fuck you like an animal
i want to feel you from the inside
i want to fuck you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god

You can have my isolation
You can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
You can have my everything

help me
tear down my reason
help me
it's your sex i can smell
help me
you make me perfect
help me
think of somebody else

Hmm . . . as much as I support the troops, in times like these, it doesn't seem wise to let stuff like this make the news. Think it, write it down, share it with your friends, have a big laugh but don't go any further.

Kids in public schools are being suspended or expelled for what they write and say. I bet if an ordinary citizen wrote those lyrics about his neighbors, family, he would be arrested and given a psych eval.

And seriously, this line: “As the bullets begin to fly, the blood sprayed from between her eyes and then I laughed maniacally,” according to the song’s lyrics. “Then I hid behind the TV and I locked and loaded my M-16, I blew those little (expletive) to eternity.” . . . sounds more than a little twisted.

What do they want them to sing, Kumbya or some pansy song? I don't see a darn thing wrong with Hadji Girl. Fighting men have always made up and sung off color songs. British Soldier WW Song:

'Three German Officers crossed the Rhine'
Tune: 'Mademoiselle from Armentieres'

Three German Officers crossed the Rhine, parlez-vous
Three German Officers crossed the Rhine, parlez-vous
Three German Officers crossed the Rhine
To fuck the women and drink the wine,

(Chorus) Inky-dinky parlez-vous

They came to the door of a wayside Inn, parlez-vous
Pissed on the mat and walked right in, parlez-vous
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

'Oh landlord have you a daughter fair?', parlez-vous
'With lily-white tits and golden hair?', parlez-vous
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

'My only daughter's far too young', parlez-vous
'To be fucked by you, you bastard hun', parlez-vous
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

'Oh father dear I'm not too young' parlez-vous
'I've just been fucked by the blacksmith's son', parlez-vous
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

At last they got her on the bed, parlez-vous
And shagged her 'til her cheeks were red, parlez-vous
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

They took her down a shady lane, parlez-vous
And shagged her back to life again, parlez-vous
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

And then they took her to a bed, parlez-vous
And shagged her til she was nearly dead, parlez-vous
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

They shagged her up they shagged her down, parlez-vous
They shagged her all around the town, parlez-vous
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

They shagged her in they shagged her out, parlez-vous
They shagged her up her water-spout, parlez-vous
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

Now seven months later all was well, parlez-vous
Eight months later she began to swell, parlez-vous
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

Nine months later she gave a grunt, parlez-vous
And a little fat Prussian popped out her cunt, parlez-vous
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

The fat little Prussian he grew and grew, parlez-vous
He fucked the cat and the donkey too, parlez-vous
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

The fat little Prussian he went to hell, parlez-vous
He fucked the devil and his wife as well, parlez-vous
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

They're misquoting the lyrics ... when the lyrics to "Hadji Girl" are all over the internet. Brilliant. Simply "frickin'" brilliant.

(the song's not about a Marine killing civilians. It's about a civilian luring a Marine into an ambush.)

Remember. We can fact check their a55es -- and Dan, you're one of the best.

"the song's not about a Marine killing civilians. It's about a civilian luring a Marine into an ambush.)" You must know that the truth does not matter. To the left the story is about knocking off "poor, innocent civilians" whether they intend to slit the Marine's throat or not is totally moot. Remember they are the ones mourning Ali-Z.

[Gray]

"the song's not about a Marine killing civilians. It's about a civilian luring a Marine into an ambush."

The song is about an incredible dumb Marine who disobeyes orders, goes awol and is lured into an ambush, where he uses an innocent bystander as a human shield. This casts a very bad light on Marines, is subject of enemy propaganda, and should of course be punished. And if you think this is covered by the right of free speech, try to publicly perform a song that casts your company in a bad light.
