How about anytime a Bradley Fighting Vehicle or any convoy vehicle(s)is on patrol especially on a main traveled send a M1A1 Abrams Tank ahead with a Mine Flail beating the hell out of the road ahead of it and it wll surely detonate any and all bombs whether they are to be set off by a remote control device or by contact by a vehicle driving over it.
No, then why not?
Why do you think its cowardly to blow the crew and A Bradley Fighting vehicle up with a home made bomb?
These needs to stop. I don't care which means are used. Unless it's appeasement.
Ping -- 3 from Houma is more on US Highway 90 and into
Bayou country, but the other folks sound like they make
be close to you...
What a blow to Southern Louisiana.
A Guard unit from my town is being deployed this weekend. There were photos in our local paper. Many of these men are in their forties, with teenage children. One is a good policeman.
We are sending our brightest and best over there...
For what? Remind me. So people who don't want democracy, and haven't had it in two milennia, can vote?
So we can "fight them there so we don't have to fight them here"??
What if we have to fight them here AND there at the same time?
And our local heroes, policemen, firemen, EMT's--are being deployed. Who will be left for that elusive "Homeland Security"?
Is it really about the oil?
God bless and rest their souls.
I beginning to feel very worried about just that. I hoped we'd moved away from Vietnam, where the war was fought by politicians in Washington. Our soldiers still seem to be mere pawns in some politcal game. In a few highly publicized cases, they seem to have been thrown to the politically correct wolves.
God bless and keep them all.
We'll fight them. Let the bastards come here and try that shit. Our home is loaded to bear with weapons. There will be a mass exodus of muslims from NY to Ca.
There won't be political correctness. There will be an all out war with those bastards.
I am sure they were good southerners.
If we do not fight back against the heathens then we need to leave. now. wipe out every mosque and hang every muslim extreamist in the street until the barbarians ceace their filthy behavior.
Agree, this sh*t is getting way to old and most understand it aint going to end.
God give their families strength through the dark days ahead of them.
The ultimate sacrifice.
They did all for our freedom.
That is such a harsh statement, but it's true. Oh, so true.
DAMN GOVERNMENT! DO SOMETHING! OUR SOLDIERS AND COUNTRYMEN ARE GETTING KILLED! DO IT NOW!
Hate to be a glass half empty type here but the way it is looking now, the gov't would send in UN troops and bring you up on war crime charges if you tried it.
One of these fine young men was my son's roommate and best friend while they were stationed up in alaska...my son is not taking this all too well...I cannot imagine the feelings of all the parents and families...God bless them all, the fallen and the families.
I can't imagine what they are going through....and I never want to find out.....tell your son how sorry I am for his loss.
