The Taliban are bragging that they had 20 fighters as backup?
I bet the entire Ranger Regiment, Delta Force, Special Forces CIF's (times at least 2), a MARSOC Battalion and a couple of SEAL Platoons were all itching for a piece of this.
I still hate the deal, but have to wonder.
What would have happened if they tried something silly?
I wish we would have tried something silly. 20+ bad guys down and if we happened to have winged Bergdal then "Oh, darn"
ReplyDeleteThis is why we should have taken a page from the Mafia and sent special forces out hunting them down.
ReplyDeletethey put one of ours in the hospital we put ten of them in the grave. thats the Marine Corps way!
Deletehonestly we've been talking about it at work. We have a feeling that these 5 guys we traded all have something in them thats either going to point us to where they go or is set to start doing this function a week/month/year from now. could see alot of raids and other things happening that take alot of bad guys down. or at least thats how i would of played it
Deleteyeah, me and my buddies came to the same conclusion but the problem is this. they just put a bullseye on every Soldier and Marine everywhere. you want a terrorist back? kidnap a servicemember.
Deleteunrelated but you have the jump wings, been to ranger school and are JTAC.
can we do away with it since so many people are able to call for fire or is it still necessary? how about ANGLICO?
remember the words of patton, "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.", or here i guess religion or whatever they are fighting for.
ReplyDeleteWhatever they are figthing for........the afghans have been fighting for soo long, i've forgotten what they have been fighting for all along.
DeleteBubba Singh: The Afghan's fight for tribe, honor or boys.
DeleteSomewhere there was a predator drone and, or, Apache miles away but danger close just for an excuse to go weapons free.
ReplyDeleteTo Bad, Bergdahl could have died an honorable death getting his Muslim buddies wasted.
