ISIS Terrorists Run for Their Lives When They Meet Real Soldiers for 1st Time – U.S. Special Forces

American troops just had their first real battle with Islamic State militants, after the terror group attempted to overrun Ein al-Asad base in Iraq in the middle of the night Sunday, the Kurdish news outlet Shafaq News reports. The U.S. troops absolutely decimated the militants, forcing a quick retreat. The counterattack was conducted in a joint operation with local tribal forces.

 

The attack occurred at Ein al-Asad base, which currently hosts nearly 100 U.S. military “advisers.” The U.S. troops engaged the militants in tandem with F-18 fighter jets, who provided air support. The battle lasted approximately two hours after an undisclosed number of militants were killed.

 

An Iraqi Army field commander was reported as saying:

 

“The US force equipped with light and medium weapons, supported by fighter force model F-18.”

 

A tribal leader, Sheikh Mahmud Nimrawi, said:

 

“US forces intervened because of ISIS started to come near the base, which they are stationed in, so out of self-defense.”

 

At the height of the Iraq War, Ein al-Asad was the largest airbase in Iraq’s Anbar province. The fight occurred in the al-Dolab area, about six miles from the base.

 

Hundreds of U.S. troops have been deployed to Iraq’s Anbar Province following the news of the Islamic State attack, Stars and Stripes reported.

 

“Currently, about 350 U.S. troops are stationed at Al Asad Air Base in Anbar. The force is composed of advisers and support personnel who are assisting the Iraqi army, as well as a security contingent tasked with providing force protection.”

 

The White House has previously stated how the role of U.S. troops are that of “advisers” and not combat troops. President Obama has been quoted as saying:

 

“I will not commit you and the rest of our Armed Forces to fighting another ground war in Iraq.”

 

Col. Ed Thomas, the chief spokesman for Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said that the troops will not be accompanying Iraqi forces in combat, reiterating President Obama’s pledge to not commit U.S. troops into a combat capacity.

ISL is just a bunch of perverted jackals, emboldened by the extreme cowardice of  the Iraq "army".

 

I'd bet they would see a major mass desertion if American troops were allowed to join the battle.

Rules of engagement is that there are no rules.  See the enemy, kill the enemy.  Thus ends the rules of engagement.

ISIS is only good at suicide bombing! Their troops ain't worth spit.

We thank the US and Allied armed forces for their service. I pray for no more bloodshed of our troops. I pray for the safety of my daughter and son in law. I look forward to the eradication of ISIS and war criminals such as Maliki.

 

I also pray for family members who live in constant worry for our loved ones.

 

We remember those who have fallen.

  well shoot LGD...here's a thought...let's tell some Cajun's that these 1) ISIS dudes are tasty like chicken when fried... 2) they are "out of season" 3) there is a bag limit of two....that ought to about take care of things don't you think !!

[uncirculd]

You gotta love US soldiers.  They don't mess around.   Enough said for sure. If they were left to handle it their way, there would be no daash/isis.    And you would have a surge in joining armed services again.   

 

We pretty much know that isis won't do actual battle here in US, they will do sissy attacks.  Suicide, homemade bombs etc etc, cause they know good and well that the most backwoods redneck in the US can out shoot them with no fear.   Kind of like the crop dusting pilot who saved the day in the movie Independence Day.  Only in America have we found true bravery such as that.  Kudos to all those unsung hero's.    Kudo's for these soldiers in this article.  woo hooo

Not trying to stir the pot, don't see any name calling in the thread.
