2018-06-25 |
[Times] Reports have surfaced of a 29-year-old British SAS sergeant’s fight against fleeing Taliban terrorists in an underground cave complex in Afghanistan in January. The Daily Star Sunday reported that the soldier from central England managed to shoot three terrorists and kill another three with a claw hammer while in near complete darkness in a series of underground tunnels less than 2 feet wide and 4 feet high. The soldier was part of a joint British and Afghan special forces operation launched against a Taliban base in northern Afghanistan, the Daily Star reported. |

#10 When no Afghan commandos volunteered to enter the tunnels, the SAS soldier took it upon himself to complete the mission. Now there's leadership from the front;not from the behind. |

#9 Beso, if that's the "claw hammer" he used we have a new canonical example of stupidity in media. Whoever wrote that has obviously never seen no less used a claw hammer. |

#4 Will this story make the BBC? If it does I'm sure that it will be spun as unnecessary force and probably get him arrested. |
