PING- IRAQ - good story, God bless our Marines.

I just hope the politicians don't turn this victory into a defeat, the way they did in Fallujah.

[Timocrat]

....and Marine Corps warplanes roaring in from ashore carriers.

What is an ashore carrier? Presumably this is not one that has been run up on the beach.

Played by medically retired Marine Staff Sergeant R. Lee Ermey currently the host of The History Channel's "Mail Call" program. (He was made an honorary Gunny by the Marines) Ooh-Rah!

Seriously. Is there any friggin' city over there that isn't "holy"? I suspect they mostly turn "holy" when they are under attack. When they're not they revert back to being a garden-variety shiitehole in the desert.

Then you should really like his great grand-baby the AC-130U (Named Spooky after grandpa :) )

[Cap'n Crunch]

Get some, 4th Marines bump.

I like em when he shoots that 105 out the back...

"Get some! is the unofficial Marine Corps cheer

Filed for reference.
As a never-served civilian, my only familiarity is with the "C'mon, Get Some!"
for the over-the-top door gunner in "Full Metal Jacket".

When I first heard that Kerry (supposedly?) shot someone while in Vietnam,
all my brain could hear was his droning voice intoning
"Come...on....get....some...."
like some drugged robot.

Gato-

What a shot! The Spectre / Spooky gunship is an incredible platform. No better way to put ordnance a-plenty on the terrorists. For those dissidents on the other end of an AC-130Us wrath, I say: "May Allah receive you!"

Makes me proud to be an American infidel!
