Noted. The only reason I post this stuff is so that someone gives them reinforcements or gets them out. Susan Rice has no clue how to fight a war. They expect special ops to fight here or there and train the Iraqis (or Afghans) against 30k dispersed fighters.

America, get off your high horse! I, your leader, Obama can tell you our enemy is on the run, and I will not allow these marines to make it, because Isis lives matter! I, Obama have America in check while I watch this fat hog woman in a bath tub full of cereal and milk eating and she is a more important agenda than our marines. You can take that to the bank of debt of trillions of dollars!

I can just imagine this dirt bags thinking while he worships a dead god mohammed than the living Christ who still is saving lives from the eternal pits of the wailing and gnashing of teeth condemned spirits!

It looks like a Camel Humper.

It smells like a Camel Humper.

Then it MUST BE A Camel Humper.

Kill them all and let God sort it out.

The art of coherent writing cannot be taught by those who have never learned it so I expect to see even less of it in the future.

“These are Marines, after all; when the Corps comes out to play, bad things happen for the other team.”

LOVE this! I have been so worried about those young men, I pray that your words are right and nothing happens to them.

Marines take care of their own.

They will be fine.
