I suspect Zero’s “squeeze the heart” statement was code for giving the JV team a hug. He’s got their backs. No worries.

So what does the military BOLO stand for? I know what SNAFU is.

“So, we are hitting ISIS with four planes a day”

Why do I get the image of 5 o’clock Charlie from MASH?

Obama is the ISIS J.V. Team Coach.

Hillary is their Grandmother.

I was in the Marine Corps and I don’t recall “BOLO” being ever used. Maybe it’s an Army thing.

The term, "to bolo" is a term quite often used in the U.S. Army. Is a perjorative term meaning the same as, "to fail". "A bolo" is a person who is deemed, "a sorry individual". NOT capable of getting with the program and passing tests, meeting even the lowest modicum of requirements.

Bolo: A derogatory remark for recruits who cannot pass marksmanship training. The idea being that if one cannot use a rifle, one most resort to a bolo.

Finally, he looked into the camera and said, "You are next, ISIS."

Is this another "go code" to ISIS because he did not say ISIL?

America, be on your own look out. You are the only ones that can protect yourself. We cannot depend on the FERAL Government and the Muslims that are running it.

One thing to add. Of the "exactly" 9000 sorties in a year, how many were successful on target hits? 30%? 50%? They do not talk about that. They just talk about how many the Rainbow Prez calls back.

Someone else on the board postulated bammy was using code words to isis to launch attacks. Time to start monitoring for any attacks to see if this theory has any merit. In this world I wouldn’t be surprised.

“Zero’s “squeeze the heart” statement was code for giving the JV team a hug.”...........

What needs to be done is drive a stake THROUGH the heart. Quit coddling the bastards and kill them all.

I has just assumed it was an acronym and tried a search for it as such to no avail.

3/4 of the 9,000 returned with their ordnance because Obummer is afraid of collateral or environmental damage.

Unreal...

a BOLO is a screw up

Private Jones BOLO’d the rifle range, failed, messed it up.

Different than what Cops call a BOLO, Be on the Lookout report
