Aggressive tactics thin enemy ranks, alter Taliban tactics

Post by C-MAC »

Since September, the Third Platoon has shot somewhere between 125 and 208 Taliban--as many as one enemy killed per patrol. That rate may not seem high, but the cumulative effect has been crushing. Marine tactics, like Ohio State football, have the subtle inevitability of a steamroller. "We got a radio intercept yesterday," Lt. Garcia said. "Some Talib leaders in Pakistan were chewing out the local fighters for quitting. The locals yelled back, 'Marines run toward our bullets.'"
Emphasis mine. This example involves the Marines. But I have heard this numerous times from A-stan.

God Bless you guys. There are so many losers here at home in politics. But there are obviously none on the FOB's IMHO.
