What these guys don't 'get' is their men live in dirtbag hellholes and death is probably a relief for them... while our Marines have much to live for - - life in the US is good. Of course our guys don't want to die - they have something good to live for...
Ha! American SOF and Marines will be more than happy to arrange a meeting between ISIS fighers and allah...
Marines don’t want to die but are prepared to do so.
That's what makes them the deadliest and most effective soldiers the world has ever known, even without the high-tech.
Just ask the Japanese of Okinawa or the Germans of Ardennes.
The Marines probably also remember Patton saying don’t die for your country, make the other guy die for his - paraphrased.
“American Marines and special forces have no chance in a fight against guerilla fighters, because these fighters are ready to die, and Americans Marines do not want to die,” Todenhofer said.”
That’s exactly correct. SF and Marine grunts are known for reluctance to attack, and an inconsolable fear of fighting. It was a big embarrassment at Belleau Wood, Tarawa, Iwo, Guadalcanal, Chosin and Pusan and Inchon. And those guys at Khe Sahn, Hue and Koh Tang island and Son Tay, what wusses. And Shughart and Gordon had to be practically kicked out of that Blackhawk to go help a downed pilot.
And in Desert Storm Marine Divisions didn’t conduct a bare naked full frontal assault straight into the prepped defenses with an aggressiveness that left Schwarzkof shaking his head.
And Fallujah never happened. And the Huge ISIS force that trapped 300 Marines at the Al-Asad airbase were just too busy to get around to over running 300 pissed off grunts.
Its just a shame that our SF and Marines are so fearful,,, a real shame I tell ya.
