#1 "The young Marine had just shot a suspected insurgent and was walking back across the villa's rooftop when he keeled over from a terrific thud to the back of his head."

Typical fighting tactics of the brave Lions of Islam -- shot the Marine in the back of the head as he walked away.

But the Marine lives! Semper Fi!

#2 Those Kpots suck, but they work. I hate how heavy and hot they are. But, it is better than taking a bullet in the noggin.

#5 This reminds me of that video that one of the Brave Lions of Islam(tm) shot and our boyz got a hold of afterwards of them lining up on one of our boyz (in front of a hummer) at basically what looks like point blank range (across the street). You hear Machmoud chanting something as the pulls the trigger, and our boy goes down. But, then the unthinkable...he hops up quickly, M-16 aiming for whatever hit him and dashes behind the hummer. You hear the stress in Machmoud's voice as he's chanting more and more because he realizes he either missed or didn't take our guy out permanently. Backups swoop in, and the rest is history (not on tape) from what I understood.
