A member of the elite British SAS reportedly killed an ISIS militant with an axe after his gun jammed.
British press reports say the joint U.S.-U.K. operations mission was to free the death cults sex slaves. The mission was a success and some of the would-be jihadi brides were little more than children, The U.K. Sun reports.
But one of the Brit commandos gun jammed on him as one extremist raced towards him. The brave Brit grabbed a nearby axe and slammed it against the fanatics head, killing him.
Members of ISIS had been in the area for a few months and had been rounding up pre-pubescent girls who they wanted to become jihadi brides, a source told the Daily Star.
If the parents protested they were shot dead or beheaded. Some of the girls ran away but were captured and we received reports that they were crucified or dipped in acid and suffered the most appalling deaths.
A rescue mission was launched. Up to 30 fighters were killed. Some escaped. There were no prisoners.
The girls and their families were relocated from the village to northern Iraq where they have been welcomed and offered homes.
Meanwhile, ISIS killer-in-chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has reportedly fled embattled Mosul, where coalition forces are winning back the fanatics spiritual home.
The U.K. Times reports al-Baghdadi fled the city after allied airstrikes began pulverizing the enemy.
Baghdadi escaped at the last moment from the airstrike on a meeting among commanders in Mosul, a local security operator told Russian newspaper, Sputnik.
I love stories with happy endings!:-)
Whatever’s handy...

Meanwhile, look at the hot mess at the U.S. 5th Special Forces group at Fort Campbell—they’re responsible for Army SOF operations in the Middle East. “Lions led by a lamb.”

That “lamb,” BTW, is Colonel Kevin Leahy, son of none other than U.S. Senator Patrick “Leaky” Leahy of Vermont. Odds that Col Leahy gets fired. Approximately zero. Chances his name appears on the next promotion list to Brigadier General? Somewhere around 100%.
I axed him, “do you want to live?”
He mumbled something about “virgins,” so I axed him.
Bad.
5.56mm
“I went on down to the Audubon Zoo and they all ‘axe’ for you.”
Correction...Colonel Leahy is apparently not the son of Senator Leahy; original source had deleted that comment when I double-checked, but problems in 5th Group remain. That open letter is very damning, to say the least.
If the Colonel doesn’t have political ties, it’s curious as to why he hasn’t been relieved of command. And it’s doubtful he ever gets a star—and rightfully so.
Sad to see Hillary’s allies killed.
Pray America wakes
I keep a Fiskars hatchet hanging on a nail right next to my front door. It was not designed to be a weapon but would make a fine one anyway.
I was friends with one in the North Sea. He was a diver after he left the SAS. He was a very polite gentleman and also educated. Their was absolutely no doubt in my mind he could break you in half if it was needed.
He was a good bloke.
God bless Lee Rigby and his family and little boy.
The SAS never liked the SA80. After the L1A1 SLR (FN FAL variant) was dropped they started using the M16A2 in its place.
