      I do not know from which country you reside and respond from… But if it's in the United States or the UK, you need to rethink your position… The very fact you can make such a statement is because brave men like this fight and die to keep those rights!
      And if you have immigrated to the United States or to the UK, that makes your comment even more appalling…
      So, here's an idea, if you think that you live with a bunch of war criminals… How about you move to the middle east or the other parts of the world where you don't have protected rights... pretty sure your "opinion" would change pretty damn quick… Be aware that family members of these brave soldiers probably read the comments and if you have an ounce, an ounce, of humanity in you… Knock it off!
      From, a proud American! Thank you United States military servicemen and women and To All of our Allies… We are indeed, indebted to you.

      Extremism Seems to be more prevalent in the societies that are most desperate… That doesn't mean that Those that are truly evil in that society don't need to be removed… I suppose you could say the definition of "evil" is subjective… But I think you would have to agree when innocent women and children and unarmed men are TORTURED and butchered, That those of us who live in a civilized society should NOT let that go on… Just saying… I also agree that if homes are destroyed in the process, we should do everything to restore it and I think the fact that we have been in the Middle East for a long time rebuilding schools and homes should speak for something… Perhaps you could broaden your thinking a little also...I am quite sure we have far more in common, than disparity.
      If we were to live in the same community and not be a faceless person on a post, we would, no doubt be able to live peaceably and speak kindly to each other…Please note: I use my real name, do you? Quite possibly…

      Cousin was a marine. Fought alongside a lot of these guys during Phantom Fury and told me the same thing. Those SAS dudes were badass. They believe they are so good at what they do; if they take casualties (not even KIAs) they will burn down everything to get to the guys who shot their teammates and take them out. He said they are absolutely ruthless motherfuckers. Not at all reckless, just ruthless, take no prisoners style combat.

      It was Fallujah. That place was terrorist central at this time and the only reason we had to go back and actually take the city the following year was because of "international outcry" over urban warfare being bad, but the forces there had to pull out and it led to Fallujah becoming the base of operations for the majority of insurgency in Iraq. We lost like 80 Marines and had a whole lot more injured in 04 when we had to go back.

      After the USA announced war upon Iraq after Sadam publicly announced he'd offer sanctuary to Al Qaeda members and dared the U.S. military to try and get them, he sent the WMD's into Syria.
      We have sat images of the transport convoy moving the WMDs out of Iraq.
      But the invasion of Iraq was Sadam's fault for declaring Iraq a sanctuary for Al Qaeda and threatening the U.S. if they tried to come after Al Qaeda members given sanctuary in Iraq.
      It had been declared by Bush the U.S. military would hunt down all of Al Qaeda in response for 9/11 and any country offering them sanctuary would be invaded.
      Sadam thought his military was stronger than it was and challenged the best military on earth to come and get Al Qaeda refugees in his sanctuary country.
      People should stop revising history to make Sadam seem an innocent victim while villianizing our Soldiers for hunting Al Qaeda for their role in 9/11.
      Al Qaeda caused the GWOT and Al Qaeda nor their supporters deserve any empathy.

    Most SAS troopers in the early GWOT years didn’t have helmet mounted NVGs and a lot of other mission critical kit. It would be almost 8 years before White Hall would flow the proper gear to the SAS and get them at the level they needed to be in the massive operational tempo waged by JSOC.. The reason this was a big deal because It was a huge safety risk to have some operators on white light and other operators on NVGs. Delta Force was constantly changing up their tactics to prevent the enemy from adapting, and if it came down to a off X night hit, (as they preferred to do on targets with high probability of IED makers), they had maintain a silent entry to get the jump on the bad guys before they could detonate any ordinance.. White light would not be ideal in that circumstance. John McPhee talks about this alot in his podcast SOB podcast.

      Obviously Delta force was formed after visiting US troop trained with them in the 60s and took the idea back stateside as they had nothing like that at the time.. The sheer might of the US army has made Delta force the formidably impressive unit it is today, and they continue to work hand in hand... Both are absolutely awesome...you wouldn't want any other guys in your corner, and if their after you, most just surrender... I laugh at the amount of hostage situations where they've just given up on hearing that the SAS are coming.

They drove through the surrounding security wall & just demolished the entire complex....by running over the buildings with the tanks. They didn't fire a single shot. That's the best way to CQB with a tank! While the tank's were having fun at the Police station, SAS troopers were releasing their friends that had been moved to a house elsewhere. The kidnappers ran away as soon as they realised the UK was not going to negotiate, but just take back what was rightly theirs.
