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.

Yes they are. Never underestimate your enemy. Taking out 40 bad guys, who are well entrenched and willing to die, will result in friendly casualties.

So, like a poster texted earlier in this thread... who's ready to go there and root those frickers out.
