Thanks for introducing me to newsmax.com.
It's nice to see news reports from a heavily right leaning source so I can better understand that approach to the world a bit better.
I'm not saying that I disagree with the sentiments presented in the letter but I do have issue with it being presented as written by a marine. It could be but there is nothing to back up that claim other than a mention that it came from a blog entry. The letter does show a clear point of view, one that is echoed by many people around the world... that point of view goes back to "an eye for an eye". It basically says that our oppenent doesn't play fair so why should we?
Unfortunately, there are no referees to call fouls when somebody doesn't play by the rules in war but that doesn't mean that we should all ignore the rules laid forth in the Geneva Convention.

Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
