That's Army Aviation, thank you very much.

"but why don't we reduce the risk and just shoot these mothers?"

They needed to be squeezed like a tube of toothpaste first.

2Sam.20.20-2Sam.20.22 I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the inheritance of the Lord?"

And Joab answered and said, "Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy! That is not so. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city." So the woman said to Joab, "Watch, his head will be thrown to you over the wall."

Then the woman in her wisdom went to all the people. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. Then he blew a trumpet, and they withdrew from the city, every man to his tent. So Joab returned to the king at Jerusalem.

The SAS used to be the "Red Team" that tried to infiltrate our positions during war games. They were some of the best combat soldiers that I ever worked with.

I know a former SAS who does tactical training now in NC. A very interesting individual. I've taken his shotgun and handgun class.

He competes locally and is a IDPA master class shooter, and is always willing to help those less talented.

Will our loony Supreme Court let us hold these individuals? Surely we can't interrogate them without their lawyers and "spiritual advisors" being present! What about "internation law"? Did we check with Kofi Annan about this?

I hope that the New York Times approved this, but were they given time to tip off the bad guys? I don't think so! The Supreme Court will undoubtedly see that as a big infringement on the freedom of the (treasonous) press.

I'm sure that the Taliban paid a high price for the two men they killed.

I certainly hope so.
