26 is not “huge”, 50,000 is huge

It would have been easy for them to abandon their positions while awaiting the air support. They didn’t. When fanatacism meets discipline coupled with courage, the fanatics stand to lose.

I don’t want it to end.

I want US to sell all the weapons, and I want a TOTAL stalemate, with TONS of energetic, true-believing Muslim boys pouring in from alllll over, to marry bullet with chest (or temple, I’m not fussy).

Victory..?

The victory for the USA would be for this to go on, and on, and on, and on.

I don’t want any side to win, I just want MY people to be uninvolved (beyond sales).

An ISIS counter attack ends with an ISIS loss of territory and 500 dead; sounds like success to me for the good guys. Any time ISIS looses is hardly a disaster.

Oh my how things change. At the height of the Vietnam War we lost 120+ Americans per week. NVA and VC casualties were much higher. Of course the Vietnamese were a far more competent enemy than these ragheads who rely on Allah to guide their bullets. In Korea we lost another 50000 Americans in 3 years. 500000 in WW2.

Count on the press to exaggerate everything.

Well I guess 26 dead is better than none, can I help if I prefer it were 26 per hour?

The only people who hate the A-10 more than ISIS is the USAF brass.

The Commander in Chief would do well to restart production...

...for The Marines!

There’s nothing like the smell of rotting ISIS bodies in the morning; it smells like ... victory.

25 terrorists dead is “massive casualties?”

Don’t we usually get that many when we send a hellfire into a wedding?

What the hell are we doing?
