"We're surrounded, that simplifies our problem!"
Thought they could whup up on 30 marines, eh? Guess they learnt their lesson gooood.
Those rat b@stards should never have attacked the Marines when the Marines had such an overwhelming advantage.
God Bless all of our armed forces!
Awesome!!
I hope that Corporal gets put in for a Silver Star.
The Marines and our men and women and uniform are so brave. They are amazing.
*******************
During the battle, the designated marksman single handedly thwarted a company-sized enemy RPG and machinegun ambush by reportedly killing 20 enemy fighters with his devastatingly accurate precision fire. He selflessly exposed himself time and again to intense enemy fire during a critical point in the eight-hour battle for Shewan in order to kill any enemy combatants who attempted to engage or maneuver on the Marines in the kill zone. What made his actions even more impressive was the fact that he didn’t miss any shots, despite the enemies’ rounds impacting within a foot of his fighting position. “I was in my own little world,” the young corporal said. “I wasn’t even aware of a lot of the rounds impacting near my position, because I was concentrating so hard on making sure my rounds were on target.” The most amazing thing about the battle: Not a single Marine was seriously hurt. Hoo-rah! ************************************
God bless these warriors.
And don't forget to thank them for their service when you see them.
I always do. And you'd be amazed at the number who are generally surprised to be thanked. That's a shame, as far as I see it. A thank-you should be the least that they can expect.
Hoo-rah!
Not to down play the heroic actions of our brave marines, but c'mon. Most of these jihadis have barely evolved to the point where they have opposable thumbs and a 350 cm³ brain size.
I should say that the results probably would have been the same if they'd been faced with civilized, advanced enemies as well.
You know the old saying, “F**k with the best, die like the rest!” Marine Law!!!
I hope those Marines get home safely, after they’ve sent their enemy to Allah.
I would have loved to heard the reaction or seen the look of the townspeople’s faces afterwards.
pssst....over here
"We're surrounded, that simplifies our problem!"
An opinion that might be subject to some modification at the moment. Basically what happened was that a platoon of Marines drove into an enemy stronghold, broke their ambush, took their town, and kicked their collective ass. It has to be sort of discouraging when you have an order of magnitude advantage, your ground, a prepared ambush zone, the tactical initiative, and you still end up scooting for the toolies with your tail between your legs. Might give the bad guys some pause for thought. The survivors, anyway.
By the way, that "designated marksman" thing? I think the jury's in on that one.
may allah receive all the Mohammedans soon.
This reminds me of all the Hollywood action movies... perhaps the insurgents thought the 8 hour battle was a dress rehearsal?
One Shot, One Kill!
Semper Fi
There’s never a good day to screw with the Marines.
20 kills without missing a shot!!!!
I don't even know what to say, except turn them loose and send all those bastards to hell.
250 men, their own territory, a prepared ambush, overpowering them by 10 to 1, and NOT A SERIOUS INJURY TO EVEN ONE MARINE. THANK GOD FOR THE MARINES.
