#7  A marginal improvement over the Taliban, who fired AK-47s at APCs, but still not exactly cutting-edge.

#6  Never have quite figured out who developed the terrorist marksmanship program. Mostly it consist of spray and pray. From the videos I have seen, its amazing that the mortar crews don't kill themselves with the first round let alone hit anything other than dirt.

#4   They forgot the 10 water balloons thrown by the Jihadi Jr. organizations.

Bomb Damage Assessment:

2 infidel goats, 1 infidel cow, and 1 wall totally wet.

6 misses.

#3  If these bozos put all of this ordnance on ONE target and then 10 times more, it just might be called a bombardment. As it is, this is just nuisance fire. These people are pathetic.
