And Owl_Eagle - KMA! I said "Implying that the insurgents are only slightly more intelligent than an ape and void of training, skill, courage, and reasonably well conceived tactics". Buy a dictionary. Void means "nothing", "none", "zero" - so the statement said that they had "some level" of those characteristics. This comment does not “deify” the enemy or attempt to elevate them to the level of our Marines and it REALLY pi$$es me off that you try to warp my words either through malice, or complete ignorance of my point.
But even with your asinine depiction of a "barely evolved" opponent who "are little more than an inept gaggle of man-chimps" and "not worth s**t" - with 250 of them opening up with RPG's, firing machinegun rounds, and probably AK-47's blazing - even if they were all standing still, out in the open - it's an amazing accomplishment of skill and courage for a single Marine to have a 20 for 20 kill ratio and for all 30 of our Marines to come out alive and victorious.
And I never said otherwise. Being able to record 20 kills in 20 shots has nothing to do with the skill or total ineptness of your opponent.
