It isn't unusual for the press to confuse the Army with the Marines. As you point out, there's a bit of a problem with the aforementioned article. Here's why:
From the article:
Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, were given a signed photo of Saddam Hussein * by US marines * after the former Iraqi leader was shown their movie in prison.
But, then, further down:
Stone, 37, said both he and Parker, 39, were most proud of the signed Saddam photo, given to them * by the US Army's 4th Infantry Division *.
And then Matt Stone includes the following:
"I have it on pretty good information from the * marines * on detail in Iraq that they showed Saddam the movie."
And, to those of you who think that watching South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut back to back is a form of torture, jfc, man up.
In this instance, it is irrational. There isn't any evidence to support the claims made by anti-vaccination groups and/or the parents of autistic children. This is why they are often referred to as "true believers".
