300 Marines?

ISIS is in trouble

Unless of course General Susan Rice directed ROE that Marine trainers each be assigned 2 bullets, lest they hurt a muslim

Now, you all just relax. The Marines in Ramadi are fine and ISIS in Iraq is the worse for wear. The Marines in the J O C were congratulating each other not an hour ago.

As for ROE the best I can tell is that the area immediately around ISIS/Da’ash fighters, if free of civilians, is a FFZ. It’s basically ‘try not to kill civilian non-combatants ...thanks’ That’s one plus side of precision munitions. When they can put a bomb in between 3 guys standing in the road from 20,000’ they don’t really have to worry about collateral damage in a house 200’ away. Standing in the road, grouping in a building, riding in a vehicle, manning a road block or best of all -massing against a fortified US base ...this is where ISIS is being attritted by air power.

"....each be assigned 2 bullets..."

How would "bullets" be useful without the accompanying shellcase, primer and powder?

Do you not know the difference between bullets and cartridges?

Lesson for the under-informed: Bullets are those little thingies that are expelled from a firearm and travel though the air until eventually reaching a target or falling to the ground.

Bullets are to cartridges as four is to bread, as cement is to concrete, etc. When will you and others that write about technical things ever learn the language?

Those Marines can take care of themselves. Besides, you can bet that they have not lost contact with our larger forces in the region.

That base comes under attack and those sadistic muzzie b@st@rd$ will rain hell down on top of them.
