She was the lesbian prostitute who lured 6 or 7 men into her clutches and then shot them with a small caliber pistol.  She was executed in Floridia by lethal injection in October 1992.  There's a movie available on her life but I haven't seen it.  Bela Dwan, eat your heart out.

Think that's a little small of a punishment. I'll stick with a Venitian hanging in regaurds to execution. Here's to hoping, SADAM!

Before I go out and aquire these books, what are these particular Marines like?

The Marines of Force Recon are like other Marines, only better trained and more capable. Read _Ordinary Lives: Platoon 1005 and the Vietnam War_, by W. D. Ehrhart. Ehrhart tracked down all the surviving members of his 1966 Boot Camp platoon and wrote short biographies of them, as well as bios of the few who were killed in VN. The book is an astonishingly good portrait of who Marines are: we are Every Man. Any of the men Ehrhart wrote about could have been in Starfist or Starfist: Force Recon. Warning: the book's on the pricy side; it's published by a university press, but well worth having if you have a serious interest in the US military, particularly the Marines. If you can't afford to buy the book, at least borrow it from the public library.

If the name W. D. Ehrhart somehow rings a bell, take a look at the dedication page in Firestorm.

Deadders, old cobber, are you out of your gourd? Here you're stuck on a psychopathic killer when you have a whole universe full of normal, hot-blooded females to pick from? What are you, some Elaine Wournos fan?

Elaine Wournos was the only documented female serial killer in the US in modern times.
