Terrorist Attack in France Stopped - by US Servicemembers

Bravo, gentlemen.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/france-3-people-wounded-in-shooting-on-high-speed-train/

Three people were wounded, including two seriously, when a gunman opened fire with an automatic weapon on a high-speed train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris Friday, officials said.

French media reported that three U.S. Marines on board the train overpowered the man.

The suspect is a 26-year-old Moroccan,

This is my shocked face, no doubt he is a Muslim as well but they won’t dare mention that little factoid.

Good on those Marines who took him down!

Unbelievable. Reminds me of 1944, 1917…

Well in 1944 the Army had to stand in for us, we were pretty tied up with the Japanese :wink:

Semper Fi!

Good job.

Bravo Zulu Leathernecks

Well done, lads. Very well done.

I do hope the wounded Marine makes a full and complete recovery. I’ll be quite interested in a few things, when they complete the AAR.

Does the wounded Marine get a Purple Heart?

Will they also receive some sort of recognition, awards, citations, etc? If the French offer them a combat award similar to what they award their own military, will the US government do the same? Or will this be considered “Le Violence de Workplace”?

And I’d also bump them up a color on their MCMAP belt. :cool:

THANK YOU U.S. MARINES!!! AWESOME COURAGE & VALOR!!!

All of those Marines should get a promotion in rank at the very least…

Give 'em a Silver Star as well.

ooo-rah

I would be quite happy to see them decorated. However, it might also be some publicity that might lead to unwanted attention from other terrorists.

But the DoD has become pretty skilled at presenting awards without splashing people’s names, faces and addresses all over the media.

You’re welcome France… Again.

(Shameless French joke I know)

I may ride a little fast and someday it may catch up and bite me in the ass but maybe not if I give it just a little more gas.

If those Marines weren’t paying close attention, that would have been a blood bath.

No place to run on a train.

Outstanding Work Marines. I don’t think the purple heart will be awarded. I hope they get the Navy/Marine Corps Medal.

How can this be? Guns are banned and the EU is a bastion of peace and harmony.

Good on the Marines. Sad they didn’t finish the job and kill the sack of shit.

I’m thinking…

Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll find some way to hate us for it
