You might enjoy this little nugget...... it is posted above my desk.
“Now it is not good for the Christian’s health to hustle the Arian Brown,
For the Christian riles, and the Arian smiles, and it weareth the Christian down;
And the end of the fight is a tombstone white with the name of the late deceased,
And the epitath drear:”A fool lies here who tried to Hustle the East.”
Rudyard Kipling
“The Naulahka”
It probably was from there than.
Looks like 14 of 15 ARE dead meat, but that’s cold comfort if they did the amount of damage they seem to have done.
Reporting and the fog of war being what they are, initial details are often faulty. No matter what subterfuge was used, I’m willing to let my contempt for the enemy coexist with a healthy respect for his capabilities and resourcefulness.
Clint Eastwood is a favorite actor of mine, particularly after the convention speech, but judging military events based on Hollywood films is less helpful than speculating on enemy capabilities and methods, IMHO.
Are you saying the AK-47 doesn't have a distinctive sound and that it isn't carried by our enemies?
