"It's hard for me to believe that they infiltrated a Marine outpost and took a US Marine alive without suffering any casualties. I don't believe it."
It was hard for me to believe that someone drove hundrends of yards in the Marine base in Beirut and killed so many with a truck bomb, but they did. Some times soldiers drop their guard.
I have a feeling that the Rags took some casualties. We still have not done a thing about the 4 marines ambushed last week. In fact, we don't seem to be doing much to put the fear of Allah in them.
The Marines fighting over there must realize better than anybody what will happen to them if they are caught. You would think that they would fight to death once they realized they were caught. I think that I would rather get shot trying to escape than be used as a propaganda tool while having my grape sawed off with a dull knife. Of course I'm just a keyboard commando.
