This is one of the Marines who died in the suicide bombings at the airport. Good grief.




Since when have we allowed 1 year olds in the military?
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Female Marines are likely needed at the gates for pat downs of the incoming ladies. Unfortunately...some Taliban (all dudes) didn't do any searching before her.

That is very true, its been a long issue in Afghanistan, "Lionesses" was the term often used pre-genderneutrality for women who were trained to be culturally sensitive to gender issues and to interact with Afghan women in the field (this was before women were allowed in combat roles, so it was relatively unique in the mid 2000s), as traditional front-line SMs (all male at the time) could not interact with local women effectively (or culturally sensitively).

I am sure this is still the case now (except now women can officially be in combat roles and not attached by a backdoor method while officially being labelled a "pay specialist" or whatever as their MOS while patrolling with an infantry unit).

That's not what I was advocating and I corrected it in my original post.


Life in prison, instead? How compassionate of you. Not to mention cost-effective. We’ll just feed and house them for the rest of their lives with paid supervision…THAT will teach them for coming over here to try to find work!

"According to a now-viral infographic from The Sunday Times, ongoing terror operations will benefit from the luxury of more than

22,000 Humvees, 42,000 pick-up trucks and SUVs, 16,000 night visions goggles and devices, 64,000 machine guns, and 358,000 assault rifles."

Nobody would put that guy in charge of Sunday dinner let alone running an entire country. It's pathetic.
