Reminds me a joke of the different families confronted by a mugger.

“...firing ‘drug-crazed bursts from his AK-47’.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AK-47’s on drugs are some nasty! Hoo Wee.

Glad she made the right call and took him out.

I think she made the right decision, then again; I’m biased. Given a choice between a random squirrel in a random tree, and any Al Quaeda soldier, I’ll chose the squirrel every time.

You see, Squirrels don’t use children to blow innocent people up.

God bless her for her commitment to saving lives and helping
to protect her guys. At our house, we have nothing but the highest respect and love for medics and corpsmen. My cousin is alive because a Navy corpsman performed open chest surgery on my cousin in firefight conditions, at the Battle of Fallujah.

‘Instinctively and purposefully I engage him, firing seven shots, which would later become quite the joke within my regiment. Apparently I was wasting ammunition.’

Trigger time

And they kidded her for wasting ammo?

Guys? They don’t pay you to bring ammo back.

I could think of literally fifty humorous and or sarcastic things to say right now, and I’m not faulting anyone for doing so, but I am glad she is alive to tell the story. Excellent outcome...

Apparently I was wasting ammunition.

Only if you missed. As I've told my wife and daughter, "When in doubt, empty the magazine".

Unfortunately, I’m guessing there’s some sensitivity training in her near future, brought to you by the PC Army.

Tell’em to stick it, Sgt...you’re the hero.

The last thing I told my son before he went to Iraq was “if there is any doubt, just pull the frickin’ trigger.”

Lame Stream Media reporter: “Why did you shoot him 7 times?”

Sgt. Taylor: “Gun jammed!”

I worry that the Islamists in the UK will track her down when she gets home.
