I could see someone saying the SS Grenadier uniform looking a lot like the US Marine uniform....

Here's the scene last week: Army Delta Force troops, in boots on the ground in Iraq, swooping into an ISIS prison camp along with Kurdish and Iraqi soldiers. The mission: Free more than five dozen Kurdish and Iraqi captives believed in imminent danger of mass execution.
In the darkness, a fierce firefight erupts. The Kurdish and Iraqi break-in stalls. The experienced Special Ops guys, who happen to be heavily-armed in body armor, night-vision goggles and full combat gear, open up. Numerous ISIS troops fall. So does one U.S. operative, Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler, a veteran of 14 deployments. They breach the buildings. Prisoners are freed. Valuable intell gathered.
As choppers whop-whop away, smart bombs whistle in out of the night. Prison camp disappears.
All this, according to the silly parlance and ridiculous rationale of Obama administration officials, is not real combat.
How, normal people might inquire, is a blazing firefight with fatalities and large explosions not really combat?
Because these officials are once again unfortunate hostages to yet another unfortunate statement by Barack Obama. Remember the red line in Syria? The ObamaCare promises? Again, contemporary reality must be twisted to conform to Obama's past rhetoric.

On Monday, Obama's press secretary, Josh Earnest, took a very deep breath and sought desperately to avoid creating a sound-bite containing the word "combat":

I think the way the legend worked Saunders brother was in the Marines fighting in New Guinea. He wore that Marine helmet cover out of respect for his brother.
Guy on left is Sal Mineo.
That pusillanimous pus-bag wouldn't know combat from a hole in the ground if it erupted all around him ...
OMG, you’re right! Sal Mineo. James Dean’s butt buddy.
Another suggested backstory was that he cut it from a camo parachute at D-Day. I like the brother one better.
I’ve read that the Army didn’t want camo helmet covers in Europe in order not to get them confused with a similar German one.
I would’ve cut Sal Mineo out of the picture if I knew how!

As was I. The lead, Christopher George, was a Marine who served in Korea.
Domestic violence?
That’s just as asinine as the out-of-vogue term “Low Intensity Conflict.” As one of my counterparts once said, “If you’re getting shot at, there’s nothing bloody LOW about it!”
Correct, we’re not stupid .. and we’re not cowards.
Only our admin qualifies for that.
Earnest really has a very hard job. How he can be a lying suckup and deny the obvious truth every day must be difficult
TOTALY AGREE, BUT-BUT HE DO NOT HAVE TO DO IT, HE CAN BE LIKE A MAN AND QUIT, NOBODY NEED TO LIE LIKE THAT JUST FOR A JOB, WONDER IF HE SLEEP AT NIGHT?
every one associated with this liar obammy, is a liar.
workplace violence?
These goat-smelling, hypocritical pansy pukes need to get their butts over there and not be in “combat”. Argh!!!!!
Delta Force Master Sergeants I presume are even more scarce. Hopefully the Muslim troops we rescued won't go jihad on us later.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Good morning.
“It’s not combat combat. /Whoopi Goldberg”
That explains it.

oh good grief - idiocy
I will be so glad when the entire Ophonybama administration is indicted, tried, convicted, dressed in orange jump suits and sent to the Colorado SuperMax to serve their life terms!
I think Obama is compared with a growing non-combat-combat gap with the Russians.
