It’s less the technical training than the moral training with traditional social masculine values.

A bad guy enters the car with semi automatic weapons and three unarmed young Americans charge and subdue him. What were the other passengers doing? I guess it’s American exceptionalism kind of like Flight 93 and “let’s roll.”

Yeah, and I’m a Brussels sprout.

Marines or not, it’s still a story of Americans taking responsibility for protecting themselves and others while showing courage in a dangerous situation. Good on ’em!

Three young friends traveling in Europe and one is black. Does BLM know about this? The horror. A few days ago I saw two young men, one white, one black, crossing the street together. I could see in the way they moved and talked to each other that they were buddies. It made me think about the bizarre world view of BLM. Anthony Sadler’s parents are the antithesis of the BLM mind set. They’re Americans raising their son to be a good citizen. Skin color doesn’t enter into it at all.

“The Marines will probably try to recruit them; they have the right attitude.”

If you mean an Oregon Army National Guardsman would inevitably improve the ranks of the Marines Id agree, but I dont know whether or not anyone would be willing to take the downgrade.

Oh, by the way: 41st Inf BDE. Go team!

Many Crusaders were French. The attempted train attack was payback for the Crusades. Allah the merciful and his insane so-called Prophet in action after hundreds of years.

The truth is these kind of attacks are going to be with us for a long time. These Muslims are too damn stupid to know that they can’t win unless, of course, we allow Iran to get nukes and change every single calculation and shift the balance of power.

I would love to see one of these heroes to publically unload on the Iran deal. My secret fantasy.

The French did the most heavy-lifting of the Allies in WWI.

Marines have their elite elements, but the typical Marine rifleman is not superior to the typical Army infantryman.

The Marines deserve our utmost respect, but we shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that members of the other services often act with equal valor. For example, I recommend reading Jake Tapper’s The Outpost, which chronicles the incredible courage and sacrifice of soldiers defending a basically indefensible remote combat outpost in the mountains of Afghanistan. In the end the outpost was overrun by hundreds of Taliban, and in spite of fearsome casualties, a single small platoon of 50 soldiers managed to take back their outpost. What struck me was that these guys were just ordinary soldiers, not Marines or paratroopers, Rangers, SEALs or any of the other elites. The takeaway from all of this for me is that we still have young Americans that we should be enormously proud of.
On another note, I think that we should stop trashing the French for what happened in 1940- it makes us appear arrogant and petty. A while back I spent a year deployed to the Balkans with the NATO peacekeepers, and got to know a lot of French soldiers. They were pretty impressive.
