Do you have any idea of the kind of numbers and skill it would take to over run 300 very angry Marines, all of which love the idea that there are 300 of them?

ISIS don’t pack the gear to do it. And that’s not braggadocio, its very real.

Provided the Marine’s hands aren’t tied, ISIS is
about to find out what happens when you come up
against professionals.

Where is Great Leader NOW?

I imagine it would take thousands and thousands and multiple attempts.

Bottom line is we have no idea what the ragheads are throwing at them.

Do they have MANPADS to counter air power?

The base has been harassed by mortar fire repeatedly for the last two months.

That means limited perimeter control, not to mention continuous enemy recon and observation of the base in order to plan the most effective attack they can.

That means that the enemy can get close, and if they time their attack and come in sufficient number, it’s the Alamo 2015.
