  1. ‘…to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee.’
    I love this guy
    That is how a Man dies.
    I should hope to do half as well.

  2. IN THE MEANTIME, ISIS CRUCIFIED A PRIEST ON GOOD FRIDAY, WHILE OBAMA WAS DANCING ON HIS APOLOGY TOUR!

    IT’S COMING DOWN TO A BOOLEAN QUESTION: DO WE WANT TO SURVIVE OR NOT?? SAME CHOICE THE CRUSADERS FACED ABOUT 920 YEARS AGO!!

    OH, I ALMOST FORGOT TO THANK THE MESSIAH!! THANKS, OBAMA!!

  3. I don’t know guys. More than likely this guy called for an airlift and got an airstrike. No. The Russians wouldn’t use a soldier’s death for propaganda. That’s Hillary’s thing.

  4. In Vietnam, more than one beleaguered, nearly over-run, NDP called in artillery on itself. That’s why your hole needed to be extra deep when you were way out in Injun country, because you never knew when Mother Earth and the Marine (or Army) Red Legs might be your salvation. When out of options, it’s better to call down that pillar of fire and kill the bad guys out in the open, and maybe you or some of your comrades, than wait for them to kill you in your hole. One way, you had a 100% chance of death/capture, and the other option gave you about a 10%-20% chance of getting out alive.

    As bad as the NVA were, capture by ISIS is a zero-chance proposition. No! Nyet! Never! Nekogda!

    See you in Valhalla, Yuri.

  5. Seriously, y’all.

    Death or capture by ISIS? Is that really a choice? One way, YOU get to decide the day, time and manner of your demise. Surrender to these animals, and they get the choice. And for a Russian special operator, it’s going to be long and painful.

    I’m sure he already made that choice, way before he set foot in that hellhole.
