TK, no need to edit the post since you acknowledged how we felt about it. I admit I have stuck my foot into my mouth way up to my knee-many times here. Consider this as a mistake you'll not make again. Best regards-C. PS, nobody is asking or wanting you to leave this site.
Thanks for understanding, I seem to have a rancid habit of posting something that comes across as a horribly different version of my intentions.
Don't Worry mein Freund!! Alle auf diese Soldaten sind gut ,vielleicht sie storben nicht!! Du kannest gehen und suchen fur sie!! nur in Siberia Desert!! Verzeihung!!
Well I'm With U in This ,But Also US Was There 4 Capturing that Terrorist.Aideed Then it Was involved in UnExpected Street Fight!! US Expected 2 Enter ,Capture & Leave ,But Not all Things Goes as Some one Wants!!
To borrow and slightly change a phrase that General George S. Patton Jr. said or possibly aid in his famous speech to his men: "Those terrorist scumbags need to grease the treads of our tanks with their blood and guts"---period.
Yep that was part of the problem, no US armor to support the US troops. They had to wait and rely on the UN which was the Pakistanis at that time. As for the Somalis street fighters....they were high from chewing on some kind of root all afternoon, which gave them extra courage or just courage period. Couple that with the Rangers had the wrong ammo, it was high velocity round which had no stopping power, it just went right through the "high" street fighter who just kept coming. If a "Sammi" was aiming at you, you were fine, its when they aimed at someone else, you were in trouble, not unlike what the US troops are facing in Iraq. out Dan
DUDE, Oh My God there wasn't any tanks there?????? WOW, tell me something new. DOH!!!! If you go back and C~A~R~F~U~L~L~Y ~~R~E~A~D the posting I made-you will see that I am "borrowing" a phrase that General George S. Patton Jr. may or may not have said (to which I already stated as such) in his famous speech to his Troops & I am not saying that we had any tanks there.
Know That ,Just Kidding with U!!!! By The Way Did U See "Patton" movie?? He said a cooler Term 2 one Wounded US Soldier!! "The last germans I've seen were without Chest or even Head!!" and He laughed!!
The Cajun Militia is taking to the air as we speak. You best have plenty of fish N chips for you stay in the hole pal....Where do you live anyway?
I can offer some help there. He reside in Brussels, Belgium. In a large house with a flag that is blue with yellow stars on it. Torch it I say.
That's cool, I like jokes ;-)) Something to actually laugh about is the edited photo of Patton pissing into the Rhine. The look on his face says it all.
Cool Machinegun Crew photo. Do you have any WWI Turkish pics? especially those from Gallipoli and Beersheeba ;-))
Thanks for the airstrike report....Carpet bombing with tabasco napalm ought to do it....Then the straffing of stragglers and survivors will follow!
