Much respect.

Those guys are doing a very difficult job, way the hell out in the middle of nowhere. Much of the area is basically ungoverned, and controlled by various armed groups, some of whom are aligned with AQIM and the Islamic State. It's kind of like something out of "Mad Max," but with a lot more heavy weapons.

The militants have released a propaganda video taken from the helmet cam worn by one of the US soldiers killed. I'm not linking to it - it's easy enough to find. I would caution everyone, however: it is extraordinarily graphic.

We are diminished.

The militants have released a propaganda video ...

No thanks. I'd rather watch videos of AC130 Spectres explaining freedom in a language Jihadists can understand.

We are diminished.

So true.

I hope the filthy bastards responsible burn in hell.

Stuff like that just makes me angry. If I was the President, I am sure I would have a hard time accepting a "proportionate" response.

I wouldn't mind seeing Trump go full hot head on this. You want to make an example of American warfighters, we should hunt you down and kill you for sport.

I remember when this first came out last year. Those basturds using our guys as propaganda bothers me. I would be fine with us blowing them all to hell.

Those guys didn't become green berets by being anything less then hard chargers. Their loss is significant, and I will mention their families in my prayers again tonight.
