FIREFIGHT: Marines Caught in Vicious Battle With Taliban
 

Story,
Intense gunfire from Taliban militants sends U.S. troops — and a Fox News crew — scrambling for cover as they push out of a base in Afghanistan.

So combat troops fight in a war zone?

Who would've believed?

Pull back and call in air.

Pull back to CONUS and call in Tridents... :ping:

No one has ever won a ground war in Afghanistan.

Barack Obama

If I thought for a minute that America's vital interests were not served, were not at stake here in Afghanistan, I would order all of you home right away.

Who is more deserving of contempt? The commander-in-chief who sends young Americans to die for a cause, however misguided, in which he sincerely believes? Or the commander-in-chief who sends young Americans to die for a cause in which he manifestly does not believe and yet refuses to forsake?

Hard to figure out where we are and where we are going.

I get the impression that we have met before, The Third Man.

Second Anglo-Afghan War, 1878-1880?

Where? I don't have the same impression. I'm new here, but enjoy the give and take which Subsim.com allows. And since I have questions reguarding SSN's the members have treated me well.

Well, that's just the thing; I don't think that you're new to SubSim.

Sock puppet?

Why do you think that? Let me assure you Im in the 57 post range which certainly makes be a nube.

Shouldn't this discussion be done in a pm ?

Really? What was inappropriate? I said that I didn't think he was new to SubSim. I didn't call him names or say that that he was a bad person. If he is new, great. If he is not, I think that he has an obligation to come clean. You, and every other member deserve no less than honsesty and integrity.

I don't think he owe's me or anyone else anything.

Neal can easily check if he's running another account.

let me make it easy on all. I'll leave and only come back on occasion. Subsim is a fair place,except for some, and I will tell all I know of my experiences here.. Takeda Shingen will especially be said to be bad people. bye, see ya...

Anyway, getting back to the topic



Ain't this what the Marines are bestest at? :yeah: :salute:

I have to give mega kudos to the camera operator. I think after about the second shot, I would have dropped and gotten it later. :salute:

Army, not Marines.:yep:

I will defer to you on that. I was just going on the title.:oops:

Wasn't directed to you specifically, more to the OP. I'm not sure how familiar the OP is with the US military and their uniforms, my post is intended to provide enlightenment on the subject.

Nah Takeda Shingen is alright I have the same suspicion as him on you :DL
