Lone Star Arms 2,047 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Ball bearings from a terrorist suicide belt. Looks like the shield did its job. Good riddance to the ISIS scumbag who detonated himself. He'll burn in hell. They'll all burn in hell. And the sooner we send them there, the better. Thanks for posting this. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whatmanual 44 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 From what I read, photo was from iTele French TV and it was reported to be AK47 hits. Someone has to walk point. That has to be max pucker-factor right there though. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard good things about French Special Ops. Hats off to them. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DLT 1,646 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 More shit hitting the fan this morning, and the denial continues from our administration. They still believe that there is no military solution to this. All I can think of is the idiots who said exactly the same thing about Germany before WWII kicked off. Clueless....

So, did they actually hit ISIS, or the Syrian Rebels that we're shipping ammunition to?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G O B 3,516 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Meanwhile, Obamma has forced the resignation of nearly all the balls in the military top echelon. It will take years to rebuild our command structure. Play politics with the political orginizer in chief or get out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mancat 2,366 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Interesting to see the Tu-160s doing bombing runs in Syria with fighter escort - something that is completely unnecessary there, unless they think that we're dumb enough to engage their bombers.. Russia seems to be doing everything they can to use Syria is a training tool for precision airstrikes, modern logistics, etc... It is weird watching the Russians do stuff and exercise technologies that were typically "reserved" for the US and NATO partners for the past 20 years. A lot of people apparently thought the Tu-160 was not even in service any longer, until Putin in 2014 had them modernized and had all Soviet-era incomplete airframes finished up.

Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Not to disrespect the Armed Forces in any way, but putting on a uniform is like putting on a target. Towelheads don't fight fair, so we should give them an unfair fight. Take a page out of their book with soldiers disguised as civvies. Millions of us across this once great country, blending in with the rabble but with more capability than entire companies of Civil War troops. Rifles behind every blade of grass. No rules, no quarter. You can't play checkers if your opponent is playing chess. I was reading my Bible and came across these verses from Joel 2. Eerily accurate to the situation. A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

I agree, it feels strange watching Soviet Tech work great, after being told it was junk. The "veil" is being pulled back. Their SU-34 and 35 are getting combat trials. If Obama equips the rebels w/ anti-air weapons, things may get serious very fast. Putin has anti-air systems in place. He can shut down aircraft systems in Syria at the flick of a switch. He is allowing US and Coalition Forces to act at his will. Ask Google about the people in Ezekiel 38-39. See which nations show up and what may happen next.

rastamanila 313 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Stupid media keeps asking " what should the French people do?". I say arm themeselves. Some Already Have... This Spring I was in Paris in line at their Most Famous Shawarma stalls run by French Jews. I made friends with some young men tasked with taking orders from people like me in line after revealing that I too sold Shawarma in Manila. Not speaking any French; I tried to explain about my backpack that he was asking about as "being for Hunters"...so I made a gesture like aiming a rifle... He showed me a photo of his .45 on his cellphone... ...on mine I showed him a photo of my Saiga 12K Saw this in my newsfeed (Marine Grunts page) .... Shield of the first French Spec Ops officer to enter the Bataclan theater in Paris. Brass balls ballsofsteel.jpg That Shield took 27 rounds... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) I am impressed by how fast the Russians caught up in tech, after they dropped the wall (just 20 years). All of their fighters are designed on computers now, like ours. I hope Putin bombs this piss out of them! Edited November 20, 2015 by Sim_Player Quote Link to post Share on other sites
