I was sent over there in the early 80s to fight terrorists, France was swimming with them then, but my target was Libya, a place we had all sewn up until Obama and Hillary gave it to ISIS. *SPIT*
People forget how hot this area was in the 80’s.
One of my buddies, just returning off of a submarine spec op literally was walking on the pier going home with his sea bag and got shanghaied by another skipper and got sent to the Med due to a terrorist bombing.
