Hopefully not yet. Find out where he hails from and take out the entire village, town, or city and put a pig sty on top of it.

I know. I am so glad my military service is many years in the rear view mirror. Now if I can just live long enough to see this administration in the same mirror.

Another contribution of Islam to the "fabric" of our society.

When will we wake up to this threat?

Some of us, probably 10% at the most, are awake and aware of this threat. The other 90% never will. Not even as their throats are being cut.

Our warriors should get the F out of their today. And the yes-men-brass in the pentagon need their last paycheck before for their new street life. This loss of life is insane. Religon of peace is a lot of crap?

Hmmm. I wonder if our troops are even allowed to carry weapons over there, being Obama’s “good war” and all.
