What Happens

... when 9 American MP's and a medic leap into the fray against 50 heavily-armed Iraqi insurgents ambushing a supply convoy? They win.

A some new stuff, females in combat. Some old stuff, noncom leadership proves decisive. Firepower wins, especially when the enemy has the choice of time and place. Well done.

Females or not, that's balls.

I wonder if there is a punishment detailed in the hadith for getting your ass handed to you by kufir chicks.

What happens when the press gets hold of a story like this? They ignore it.

The men and women should be showered with ten times the accolades poured upon Jessica Lynch. Where's the homecoming parade? The made-for-TV movie?

Er, THESE men and women. Doi.

How do you spell that sound that Al Pacino made in court in the movie "Scent of a Woman?"

"Ahooo-ah!"

I think that's it.

Now they've proved just how incredibly stupid they really are. Going up against a woman with a gun,,,,,,,, now that's some kind of dumb ass.

Watching the "insurgent" video after reading the after-action report was fascinating. You know those MPs are coming but it is something to see them out-numbered, placing themselves in harms way to protect the convoy. This is the "western way of war". Something to see.

See? This is what happens when you won't let them put their panties on your head. They kill you.
