#2 Another faulty GPS locator?

Nope, it's just that these here new pluggers (GPS locaters) are just so difficult to read correctly. Honestly, they just keep adding more bells and wistles to confuse us poor dumb soldiers...

#3 Didn't we announce something like this over six months ago? At the time, the thought crossed my mind that if we were discreet about it, and didn't light up any Syrians, they would be just as willing to ignore us as the terrorists.

#4 MSM News is probably catching up after a six month phase lag. I would imagine that we have been touristing around the Syrian border region for quite some time.

#5 Hope they took tents and supplies and lots of gas in case they get lost .... probly need a gun or something to keep themselves safe against bandits and desert cats.

#7 Why considering? Just do it. The enemy has had enough sanctuary next door.

#8 The terrorists bribe their way back & forth across the Syrian border.... why don't we do the same thing?

#9 We have an obligation to try and stem the rising tide of Syrian suicides! Obvisously these people need counseling and TLC.

And NOBODY provides counseling and TLC like a Division (or two) of Marines! (ok, the Army has some fine "counselors" too)
