Muslims are awful in manly man-to-man combat. That's why they bomb civilians

I'm sure ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN... they're all over this great story, right... right...?

My Uncle who served in the Philippines during WW2 always said that he would take a squad of Philippine fighters into hell and come back with Satan's nuts. He claimed they were the toughest most loyal soldiers (that weren't American) he ever saw.

May these Marines RIP and know that we hold their action that day in high regard in the best tradition(s) of a Band of Bothers.

One soldier Marine is still in the hospital requiring major surgery for a splintered bone in the arm.

Reporterette doesn't know the difference...sigh

Fyi..

My Father was around PI, Guam, GuadalCanal, Bouganville, and a bunch of those islands in the South Pacific in WWII. Said basically the same thing. He too, was a Marine!

[BuffaloJack]

Semper Fi Marines.
Bravo Zulu, a job well done.

27 Marines on 200 terrs? Not fair - the Marines had 'em surrounded.

[New Perspective]

Thank God we have these people defending us.

We do not need to look far to find heroes.

Those who were killed were Cpl. Ryan Socrates, team leader; Cpl. Judy Gatan, team leader; Pfc. Isagani Zamora, gunner; Jayson Paiton, point man; Harold Almodovar, radio man, and Gilbert Parcia, assistant team leader.

Cpl JUDY Gatan? Reasonable to assume this was a female. I thought women were not authorized to be in direct combat units.

[VOA]

Dimayuga said it was a “great honor” for the platoon to have killed
Janjalani but he expressed sadness at the death of his six fellow Marines.

This guy needs to give an address at major installations of
the Marine units of the USA, UK and any other country fighting
the War On Terror.

They sound like they've followed in the proud tradition of the
Philippinos that fought the Japanese in WWII.

[SandRat]

Poor Terrs,.... the Marines had an unfair advantage. 27 US Marines against 200 terrs. The terrs were surrounded. < / ridicule of cowardly terrs

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

"Gentlemen, we are now in a position to attack the enemy from all directions..."

[PGalt]

Some of the finest people the world may never know. BUMP!

[VOA]

"I'm sure ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN... they're all over this great story,
right... right...?"

Not to worry.
The WorldWide MSM has already sanitized the Islamic terrorist
(Janjalani) and nominated him for secular sainthood.
The PI Marines are actually the bad guys.

Close the borders in Iraq and the supply of ragheads willing to die for Allah will dwindle quickly.
