Presser

They are so humble, didn’t do anything special, just that training kicked in — and they kicked the perp’s butt!

American soldiers have been saving the cheese eating surrender monkeys for nearly a century. It is what they do. God bless them all.

Hasn’t been my experience. I always heard they were rude and didn’t try to do anything for non french speakers. It seemed the opposite to me.

That wasn't my experience either. I was there six months ago, and the Parisians I met and spoke to in my very imperfect French couldn't have been more friendly, patient, and polite. This was in both the tourist and very non-tourist areas, and included strangers who offered me help when I had trouble with my Metro pass.

Gave accolades to CNN yesterday.
I've noticed over the last year or so that CNN is making an effort to be more professional and a true news organization again.

Unfortunately, MSNBC and FOX have gravitated to nothing but sensationalism and appealing to the Jerry Springer crowd on each end of the political spectrum.

Hopefully FOX will find its way and start covering actual news again rather than succumbing to the Megyn Kellys of the world.

These heroes have rekindled the deep appreciation for Americans many of the older French had for the young Americans who liberated them the the Nazis.

These 3 have to fear their own small “p”resident like the Seal Team did. May God protect them.

That’s right. Three against one, ganging up on the poor Middle-Eastern-looking guy and beating him to a pulp - racial profiling and hate crime all in one. And the British consultant who tied him up and those racist French politicians - still haven’t gotten over their colonial outlook regarding third-worlders fighting for their right to bear arms.

And the terrorists can plainly see that Americans won’t take this sh** so think twice around here.

This quote was taken from FOX News.
“As he was cocking it to shoot it, Alek just yells, ‘Spencer, go!’ And Spencer runs down the aisle,” Sadler said. “Spencer makes first contact, he tackles the guy, Alek wrestles the gun away from him, and the gunman pulls out a box cutter and slices Spencer a few times. And the three of us beat him until he was unconscious.”

I hope this guys can speak perfect French, otherwise the people of Paris will just ignore them.

Yes, Paris is like that. The citizens of the Normandy coastal area would show a lot of appreciation, though. Their affection isn't just an act for tourists.

The Japanese government in the 1940s were well aware that an invasion of the US would be a disastrous venture solely because US boys were raised in a very competitive environment. The Nazis also learned that US young men were not push overs. Now we have the latest showing that US young men can and do have the spirit, toughness and abilities to deal with anyone in the world. These young men at this point in time need a remembrance similar to the Marines on Iwo Jima.

So, how do those cheese-eating surrender monkeys feel about “les cowboys stupides” now?

The FOX host said he “thanked the French medical people for reattaching his thumb”....first I’d heard he was that badly slashed with a supposed boxcutter.

Don’t know if the thumb was cut off or not but a friend severed the tendon in his thumb. His thumb dropped and was totally useless. Surgeons had to “fish” up his arm to find and later reattach the tendon. He wore a cast for a good while but ultimately made a full recovery. Hope this is the extent of injury to our guy.

These heroes should be advised to "watch their six" in case some muzzie raghead wants to exact revenge.
