@sahaldelta Yes it was all over the news, but though he cut it out, he did not really eat it.
Are we sure it wasn't training for the new Olympic discipline of 100 Meters Dodging Police Bullets?
@flhtse05 I'm afraid that's exactly the mentality that has created the popular hobby called terrorism. The more you destroy, the more repercussions you create.
Excellent piece with statements that are seldom found in the mainstream media. If only Americans would start looking in the mirror and assess the cost/benefits (action/reaction mechanisms) of their actions in foreign territory. For that, more knowledge and understanding of other cultures is essential. But how many can accurately pinpoint say Alaska on a map?
Interesting post, but man you make a lot of grammatical errors.
Incredible that the terrorist is still alive after all the firefights.
I will listen later on, but what weapon exactly are you (all) carrying on the photo Brandon?
Interesting article (No shit, there I was journalism): http://www.vice.com/read/al-qaeda-wants-africa-000251-v20n4?Contentpage=-1
Another excellent story.
How about a potential SOFREP book bundling all the No Shit There I Was adventures?
@SEAN SPOONTS With that shirt I don't see the need for bringing that VS17 panel.
@JackMurphyRGR We use dogs for wild boar hunting, knowingly risking their health/lives, so the cuteness is not the issue here. I'm just surprised that such expensive dogs are used in this specific way, it's not something every "SWAT"-like outfit (apologies HRT) employs.
But I do hope that the new Distinguished Warfare Medal is posthumously awarded to Ape instead of 9-to-5 drone killers.
Have we replaced tear gas and flashbang grenades for sacrificing k9's?
History Channel TV has a nice episode in it's History's Raiders series called The Desert Raiders which presents the special operations in the North-African desert as mentioned above.
The whole series is interesting by the way, lot's of early commando/SF stuff.
@LauraWalkerKC Hence the word "covert".
Just suppose women could be SOF, would you dare to date them?
What would they look like?
I don't know about you, but somehow I can't stop fantasizing...
@dwestfall @ArcticWarrior Yeah, I suppose this is what modern war looks like in reality, and that the average media do not show us.
Interesting photo, what am I looking at?
What exactly has changed since Vietnam?
Algerian sources say DNA tests are currently carried out, nothing sure as yet (but let's hope he's by now aware that the 72 virgins were an illusion).
