#2 Dammit. Give me my rifle. Uncle Sam, I am not too old to go snipe little cheapshotting bastards like the ones who set off these bombs. Only difference is that it might take me 2 shots insted of 1. A 338 Lapua and some extraction is all we would need. Its all we ever needed back in the day.

Or let me show them how you really set booby traps.

Be a lot of the f**king muj and their families hobbling around missing limbs and eyes if you let me or the guys currently trained and set for ops loose on these packs of jackals. Bouncin bettys work really well for Muj birth control.

#4 The SS would quite simply have flattened the nearest village in response - isn't political correctness a blight on our operational effectiveness!

#6 Howard--is that sarcasm? If so, it needs to be tagged as such. I can't believe you'd advocate mimicking the SS.

#7 Yes, irony am afraid. However, this is probably the reason we didn't stay in Fallujah ie the political ramifications of razing it.

Remember Lidice http://www.zchor.org/lidice1.htm

Grandad said they were by far the toughest he met tho'

#8 Damn--I'd heard of the Heydrich assassination reprisals but hadn't heard of Lidice. I'm surprised they write that the reprisals suppressed Czech enthusiasm for resistance. I'd have thought just the opposite.

#9 And the locals stand by while RSBs are planted, and RPGs are set up for launching. Therefore: screw the locals. Bomb the jihad out of these pigs.

#10 Thats why you let the dogs loose on the locals. But do it looking like the booby traps are Muj setups, and kill the Muj by rifle.
