Hey Bedlam,

Any chance we can give ISIS five hundred and eleven problems?

maybe some k to the EV in the hizzy?

You know help them to see the light on their magic carpet ride to Allah.

I'm glad someone pointed that out because I just noticed that when reading the article.

By Hunter Roosevelt on December 17, 2014

But no doubt if they confront US forces on the ground, they will take a beating unlike any other force on the face of the planet can give.

You aircraft/physics guys are aways the same...K/eV SHOCKER!!!

Maybe the point of this is let it get so bad they are begging for our presence in the ME.

Yes it was relevant, thanks to mikell.

Nah, they'll never deliver them anything like that. Lots of possibly tense things about to spin up, though. Not that the current president would ever pull the trigger on it.

You got to hope for someone Teddy Roosevelt-ish.

Makes me wonder if they didn't know the US guys were there.

Fun surprise if they didn't.

I think these ISIS guys have very inflated egos.

Their human behaviors are not OK. They need to die.

spinning up? Intriguing. Or were you just using a figure of speech?

This is great news! Hopefully we see more of this. I love seeing our boys kicking some terrorist rear end!

Heard they're handing out martyrdom at rock bottom prices!

Its always fun when you actually get to be there when SF start engaging scum like this.

The best part is when they get bored, a ROZ suddenly goes up in the area you're in for 'surface to 6000ft AGL' and the CAS starts bringing the rain.

We'll see, said the Zen master.

I hear they're all out of virgins though. They're substituting sheep instead. Not that any of these ISIS scum will mind.

As "liberators"? Didn't we try that excuse already?

Intrepid

And what is the topic here. The overt topic is the clash between "US forces" and the terrorists. However to my reading, a secondary topic is clearly presented in the OP. That topic is whoop whoop whoop for the USA.

The minute a replier replied with anything other than hurrah for us while urging caution on the validity of the article, the original poster came back with accusations defaming the repliers patriotism, setting the tone for the continuation of the secondary topic(hurrah for us)

But for that matter from what I read, the question of the US forces is vague. Were they US military or US based mercinaries. OP did not offer a distinction and as the article was over two months old, I offer that the primary topic, the clash of forces, looses it's primacy to the secondary topic of rah rah rah. Following the tone set by the OP through out, from the name calling in the first post and on through impugning the patriotism of others, suggests that OP was engaging in the secondary topic all along.

Normally I hate all the American military hoorah bullsh# - but I hate ISIS more... so good on you yankies, give 'em hell. Someone's gotta do it.

Wait until they die and find out that they misread the Koran the entire time. "It's not 72 Virgins it's 72 Virginians you A**Holes!" George Washington and a bunch of others gang up and start circle stomping ISIS members into hell the second they cross over to the after life.

OK, OK. I stole that joke from some comedian. But still I think it might be the truth.

Any kind of stomping of Islamic extremists is ok in my book.

Hey, and what a wonderful opportunity for on the job training!

"Ok, guys, what did I show you about the M2? Achmed, you load the belt, great. How do we charge the weapon? Excellent! Now, let's look downrange and find the target...no, don't stick your head all the way up, there you go, peek and duck. Peek and duck. Don't get a rhythm. Perfect. Where are they? Good! Now train the weapon on the area, you and you are on belt duty, get the next can up and ready, good!

Who wants to shoot first? Ok, ready, GO!"

First you have to set the head space then set the timing on a Ma Deuce.

I was navy in vietnam and know that. Never trust the last guy that ran the M2 HB.

This was the best set up a M2 over 81mm mortar.
