I dont think we would lose anywhere near 6 solders, if any, facing off against 30 dumbass militants. let's be a little realistic with the scenarios here...

Trying to dislodge ~40 jihadists from a well-entrenched position would have cost us at least a half-dozen soldiers. We already lost one trying to get in this complex. You also clearly don't understand how hard it is to root out an enemy from a place like this.

I suspect you've never been anywhere near this sort of situation by calling them "dumbass militants". They're a lot sharper than 99% of Americans think they are.

How long have we been fighting these "dumbass militants"? I think they're pretty smart

I say it's time we drop more MOAB's and GTFO

One American was killed in that area about a week ago.

15 MM to bomb a mountain, and these truck nut baws are okay with it.

I missed that response while typing my last reply to you...wow. I don't fault you for having never seen or been in combat but this comment is wildly ignorant.

Dug in defenders have a huge advantage, even against the most highly trained.

Perhaps you should ask a veteran from the Battle of Mogadishu about that.
