Now that's the way to handle these scumbags!
Stop the tragedy of abu-ghraib and gitmo from repeating!!!
Stop taking prisoners!
fantastic. pre emptive justice. I like it. Cowards with their IED's.
If only we could have snipers posted by the ready looking at all the roads, this would be the headline daily and we wouldn't have near as many casualties.
That's my son's outfit. I have a 2-27th t-shirt and sweatshirt. This is quite startling news. I just fired oof a care-package for him this morning.
Well, had they managed to detonate that IED with small arms fire and blow up the excremists in the process, THAT would be the way to handle those scumbags. In the case at hand, they had to bother the EOD team.
yeah, i meant everywhere at all the time. I've read a few stories about it, I'll check that one out too. I just was saying I wish we could have eyes everywhere. The IEDs are the most cowardly thing I can think of, I just wish we could curb those more effectively.
No doubt. It's a happy day every time one of those scum get nailed. We should adopt the same policy that Israel did in Lebanon: any vehicle coming across from Iran or Syria will be hit with an airstrike, no exceptions. That's where the terrorists, money, and logistics are coming from.
happy day indeed.
