Amerikaans Marinier heeft last van geweten. by (posted by Guido) Tuesday April 01, 2003 at 02:57 PM |
The first American conscientious objector from the Iraq war will give himself up at a marine base in California this morning. He said he believed the war was "immoral because of the deception involved by our leaders".
""I know I have to be punished for going UA," Mr Funk told the Guardian in an interview before surrendering to authorities, "but I would rather take my punishment now than live with what I would have to do [in Iraq] for the rest of my life. I would be going in knowing that it was wrong and that would be hypocritical."
Al drie Britse soldaten hadden ook problemen met hun geweten.

"US Marines" zijn geen Mariniers by TUc Tuesday April 01, 2003 at 05:53 PM |
Beste Guido,
Het staat in alle Nederlandstalige kranten fout, maar US Marines zijn de Amerikaanse paracommando's. Die lui Mariniers noemen, is nogal problematisch gezien er weinig water in de woestijn is.
Het is met andere woorden een makke vertaling van US Marines.
Zouden we de US Navy niet eerder de Marine of de Mariniers noemen?
groetjes,
TUc
