One Marine

via Conservative Tribune

A large group of Islamic State group terrorists in Iraq are moving down a road when they hear a voice from behind a sand dune: “One U.S. Marine is better than 10 ISIS fighters.”

The terrorist commander quickly orders 10 of his best men over the dune where a brief gun battle breaks out. Then … silence.

The same voice once again calls out: “One U.S. Marine is better than 100 ISIS losers!”

Furious, the commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and into battle. After a few minutes of intense gunfire … more silence.

The voice calls out again: “One U.S. Marine is better than 1,000 ISIS cowards!”

The now-enraged commander orders 1,000 of his best warriors over the dune, when a terrible battle is then fought. He hears small arms fire, machine-guns, grenades, rockets … and then silence.

Finally, one badly wounded Islamic State terrorist crawls back over the dune, leaving a trail of blood and gore behind him, and with his dying breath, warns his commander:

“Don’t send any more men! It’s a trap! There are two of them!“

I’m not certain that every word of that story (H/T Young Conservatives) is the gospel truth, although I imagine I could probably find a couple of Marines who would swear that it is.

The fact remains that the thought of facing U.S. Marines — as well as special operators and other American servicemen and women — should strike terror into the hearts of the barbarians who make up the Islamic State terror group.

And if it doesn’t today, I have a feeling it soon will.
