#4 OP/LP are supposed to withdraw.
The rest of the fighting, to the extent there were any useful details, went according to US doctrine, which is to bring heavy fire on the bad guys, causing them to bleed, suffer, and become ugly.
The troops didn't seem that "shaken".

#5 Plenty more where those came from. Pakistan is overpopulated with young men with zero chance in life.

#6 LOL @ the Darwinism in action comment. Pretty funny.

I should point out that some news agencies are reporting 120, not 80, fighters dead.

I expect the liberals not to pay any attention to the fact that we are NOT losing the war, in fact the enemy is more suffocated now than ever, with their leadership and rank and file fighters being bitch slapped to hell every single day.

#7 I just can't imagine what it would be like to have a bunch of baddies coming at you and have your weapon jam... twice.

(GBUSMC - how many pairs of underwear do troops get issued? - just asking')

#8 I guess someone's going to pay more attention to weapon maintenance...
