Why?

Yahoo! News - Marine General Counseled for Comments:

"According to an audio recording of Mattis' remarks, he said, 'Actually, it's a lot of fun to fight. You know, it's a hell of a hoot. ... It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right upfront with you, I like brawling.'

He added, 'You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil,' Mattis continued. 'You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them.'"

Counseled? Why? He's a Marine who likes to fight, so what? Would it be better if we sent a bunch of politically correct wimps into battle? I think not.
