“What do you call 30 Taliban drowned on a boat?...a good start.”

Two boat loads thus far...great. We need a Bill Murray streak such as in the movie Ground Hog Day.
over and over and over and over.............

Can someone post a picture of Robert Duval from Apocolypse Now?
“Mohamed Don’t Surf!”

[Tallguy]

Can you ‘stock’ a river with sharks?

[U S Army EOD]

That might not be a bad idea, have you ever tried ducking underwater wearing a life jacket when someone was shooting at you?

[Red Badger]

No, PETA, the EPA, & Sierra Club would have a hissey fit........

[Red Badger]

Swim? Hell, I doubt they even take baths, much less swim!........

[xp38]

Maybe we have found their weak point. :)

[Red Badger]

It’s dang nigh impossible to swim when you’re full of 50 cal holes...........

[wastedyears]

If you think there’s towelyban on board, sink it anyway.

[freedomson]

Swimming was more than likely outlawed along with kite flying.

From Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War: circa 500 BC...

3. After crossing a river, you should get far away
from it.

4. When an invading force crosses a river in its
onward march, do not advance to meet it in mid-stream.
It will be best to let half the army get across,
and then deliver your attack.

5. If you are anxious to fight, you should not go
to meet the invader near a river which he has to cross.

6. Moor your craft higher up than the enemy, and facing
the sun. Do not move up-stream to meet the enemy.
So much for river warfare.

We also need a crazy person like Bill Murray via ‘Caddyshack’.

Hopefully no libraries are nearby, but they’ll burn it first if there was....

“The drive by media will tell you it was civilians and the ACLU will be screaming for NATO’s hide.”

- Actually, I’ve heard that the AP is reporting it as a group of thirty innocent Afghans heading to a wedding party.

A wet beard and a turban full of lead can add an extra 30 lbs....

Ahhhhhhhhhh! A GUT BUSTING, MOTHER LOVING NAVY WAR....

OK, it was just a couple of boats full of bad guys going down, but you gotta have something for us old sailors to get excited about.
