Kill them! Great job.

Most of those good ole boys from the Searcy area have been "crawling around on (their) bellies", hunting deer since the age of six. Knocking off these bozos must seem akin to shooting fish in a barrel; a deer has much more sense than your average sheethead.

Hopefully the seven turds KIA'd with receive their 72 virgins, who all look like Helen Thomas. Enjoy it.

Terrorist hunting season is year-round - with no bag limit!

Go get 'em boys!

I only lived in Arkansas for about 18 months but I sure wouldn't want to mess with some of the hunters I knew down there on any turf in the world.

Here's to the Searcy Seven! May your virgins resemble Barbara Mikulski!

Way to go boys!

Shooting is second nature to Arkansans. Heck, even my mother can handle a pistol and a rifle.

I hadn't heard guard units have snipers attached. It could be these snipers are just the units best shots. I didn't read past the excerpt but I didn't see any mention of how many snipers participated.

In any case, good job!

You can't get any better than ARKANSAS!!!!! :-)

[SMARTY]

In Ohio that rates you free beers into perpetuity! Great work!!

[TexConfederate1861]

Not meaning to demean Arkansas, but TEXAS has some d*mn good shots as well......

[Arkie2]

Snicker!

[Migraine]

That's what I'm talkin about! That's how this war should go. Sic Semper Jihadis! A whole lot of these ragtime cowboys should bite the dust, never knowing what hit them from a mile away -- and I mean those who are even THINKING about perpetrating something, or who even LOOK LIKE they are thinking about it. Pretty soon, fear of God sets in amongst the brethren.

[Jackknife]

Great work, Charlie Co. !!!

[donozark]

Yes. And that is before they are cycled through Camp Robinson, where NG trains snipers.

[The Turbanator]

Just like prairie dog hunting. They pop there head out of the sand and we take it off.

"Don't bother runnin' you'll just die tired."

[Tom Bombadil]

Let's see.

10 observed insurgents. 7 dead insurgents.

I hope the last 3 three are in a position to give our troops some information.

Paging Alvin York. Sgt.York please report to your C.O.
