"They are trained to attack with stealth in small teams, but the Kandahar raid was an extensive, noisy production, involving a back-up force of 200 rangers, AC-130 gunships and a 100 Delta Force commandos"

I dismiss this report for one reason and one reason only. The amount of firepower 200 Rangers can lay down is absolutely awe inspiring, they aren't trained to run away, and they don't panic. They are 18-21 year old shock troops, and their one reason for exsisting is to kill things. I believe if a fire fight as intense as this tripe stipulates truley had broke out, the Rangers would have mauled anything in the fire zone.

You are right on target. Our rangers who died in Somalia thanks to X42 and his traitor defsec, apparently killed over 500 Somalians. That was with no support or backup from the traitors in the Clintoon White House.

Now add several C130 gunships and other air support teams for total disaster for the Taliban. These young warriors are ready to kill as many Islamic Goat Humpers as they can get their sights on! We have a SECDEF and POTUS who would not allow our specops to be in the situation created by the communist and anti America/American Hersch!

This is part of the left wing lies started by Hersch the commie working for the NY Slimes! This bs worked in Nam, and they are trying for a repeat in history!

I agree with you. All these people need to do is read Blackhawk Down. They would then see that after 2 helicopters were shot down, the Rangers and Delta fought back. They did not run away or back down. I forget the number of casualties the Rangers and Delta inflicted on the Somalis, but it was up there.

I read the article yesterday by Seymour Hersch or whatever his name is. Supposedly some officer told him that this is not a war for the special operations units. He's probably getting all his info from some rear echelon, chairborne ranger type whos ticked off about the special ops getting so much press and getting the action over in Afghanistan.
