I haven't seen this posted anywhere else, but it sounds like this patrol walked into a trap and one helluva battle ensued...

The bombs/missiles we are dropping in Libya should be falling on the heads of these rat-bastards in ‘Stan.

I know it's been a long time since I learned infantry tactics but I believe the correct name for the start of the engagement is "ambush". Condolences to the families of those killed and wounded in the battle.
Just saw the list of those killed -- a 28-year-old E7??? I know I'm dating myself but that was just unheard of back in the day!

The Jihadists have indoctrinated hate and devout,yet benighted,expectations of eternal rewards for their,if objectively determined,savage and evil acts to motivate them.
The Islamist World is Iwo Jima with facial hair. America may have to rediscover "Total War" in order to survive.

Bring ALL of our guys home... nuke Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran... let our ICBMs fly... leave nothing to rebuild... offer nothing after the destruction... put everyone else on notice. Send our Military into Mexico and kill all of our enemies there. Seize all of their oil and minerals to pay for freeing their sordid and evil nation.

I agree... how many Amereican troops will die because obama has screwed with well planned logistics? We already know that obama has killed many of our guys due to his pro muslim ROE.

I wonder if the patrol was allowed to carry live ammo? Or if it had to be passed out after they were fired upon?

It will take drastic action to win this war against the death cult. I appreciate the responses... thank you.

We should have left that place years ago and left them to fight amongst themselves.
That’s what muslims do when you are providing them with a more enticing target.

It will take drastic action to win this war against the death cult.But feminism is really entrenched among American women. You can't just nuke them. Wait. Are you talking about Islam?
Well, the feminists will have a choice between the brothel and the burkah in a few more years of living in the USSA they created.

I rented a great movie from Netflix last night. It is a great eye-opener for those not aware of the history of wars in Afghanistan and how nations have tried to conqueor Afghanistan and were defeated.
9th Company
2005 R 140 minutes
After barely surviving an intensely grueling boot camp in Uzbekistan, an eclectic group of recently enlisted Soviet soldiers ships off to fight in Afghanistan, where they must endure hellish conditions and extremely dangerous Mujahideen forces. Based on a true story from the 1980s, this rousing Russian war film about camaraderie and heroism stars Aleksey Chadov, Artur Smolyaninov and Konstantin Kryukov.
A reviewer says: "Anyone with an interest in the Soviet War in Afghanistan should see this. No shortcuts were taken in filming. Proper weapons were used. The tanks shown never served in Afghanistan but are of the right era. The fighters, helos and APC's are all period and war correct. Oddly enough I know the Afghani who supplied the uniforms for this movie, and they are, with minor exceptions, absolutely authentic. Excellent movie, and having it in spoken English, even better"

Actually, feminism is entrenched among American men as well. That’s why so many are confused sissies.

How come none of the vile liberal groups are protesting we pull out of this war. I can't stand to see our soldiers die anymore to save such a vile bunch. GET OUT NOW NO WAR.
