Looks like the count is now up to 24 confirmed dead Taliban militants. That kill rate percentage is climbing. The Taliban won’t be able to sustain a +30% attrition rate very long.
Is it me or does this attack seem like desparation? They have lost a lot of leadership of late and maybe it’s starting to show.
The low kill count can only be explained one way. Its darn hard to aim a rifle when you are falling down punch drunk with laughter.
They bring sticks, we bring airplanes. Sounds like a good show.
Would be even better with JDAM’s, fuel-air bombs and maybe a sprinkling of tactical nukes
all coated in bacon grease to make the picnic complete!
I like to tactical nuke idea best.
yes Peiper, much too tightly restricted. In war, we put aside almost all civilized behavior. To behave otherwise in a combat situation is what I call Terminal Stupidity. Those displaying Terminal Stupidity are frequently candidates for the Darwin Award.
Something doesn’t sound right - the spokesperson is saying decimated - but the the ‘claim’ is 20 out of 75 dead. Someone isn’t telling the truth, let’s see Associated (with terrorists) Press or a Coalition spokesperson? Taliban or US Soldiers? Hmmmm, whom shall I believe? And if the cheerful bit of news is that another quarter to half of those 55 ‘attackers’ are wounded - that might just make the spokesperson’s statement more believable and our coalition soldiers performance more real - but leave it to the AP not to tell the real story. Ever.
"DECIMATED” means ten percent killed. Look it up.
....as a punishment for cowardice.
