2 more US troops killed in Afghanistan
The Washington Post reports that two more US servicemembers were killed in Afghanistan and a third was wounded;
Navy Lt. Chris Donlon, a spokesman for U.S. forces in Afghanistan confirmed that the incident happened close to Achin and near where U.S. aircraft dropped a massive 22,000 pound bomb, called a GBU-43, two weeks ago.

A third service member was wounded during this week’s incident, which occurred on Wednesday evening during a U.S.-Afghan raid on the Islamic State, the U.S. military command in Afghanistan said in a statement.
I guess ISIS-K didn’t get enough with the first MOAB, they’re begging for more.
Thnks to Chief Tango for the link.

They will be hiding behind women and children next time, though.
The yellow-bellied cowards.
I know pigs are supposed to have an intelligence close to that of dogs. Can we train some attack hogs and let them loose in the area?
I’m going to admit that Ex-PH2 posted this before me in the other thread (lest I earn another keyboard tongue lashing from her) but,
“Cry ‘Havoc!’, and let slip the hogs of war”.
I say we round up about 5,000 from the south east and south west US and then import those feral fuckers and let them take over.
You know they won’t eat them.
We tried to weaponize incendiary-laden bats andradium panted foxes, to terrorize the Empire of Japan.
How hard could it be for us to figure out how to mass-deliver 5,000 hogs? We are the people who made an industry out of cattle drives.
We can do “terror” too, and our sense of humor is much, much darker than the Caliphate.
“FEDEX, the world on time”
I saw a picture of the entrance doors to a missile silo. It had painted on it “We guarantee delivery in 30 minutes or your next warhead is free”.
Washington played a little Christmas joke on soem Redcoats at Trenton.
Our sense of humor can be very, very dark.
Pranking the Caliphate makes them look silly. They really, really hate that’s because it is hard to be terrified of those who are beclowned.
Shipping 5000+ angry hogs into their AO, is just outrageous! The hogs would eat up foods, and the true-believers cant even scavenge protein from dead hogs. Plus, the hogs will kill and eat the Jihadis, given the opportunity.
Oh, we just have to do this! We need that macabre humor of the OSS again.
There’s a benefit to deploying the Hogs of War.
First, their snouts will scent buried explosives and the hogs will avoid them. If they can smell truffles, they can smell IEDs even better.
Second, those snouts of theirs are notorious for rooting stuff up and disturbing the earth everywhere they go.
Third, they are omnivorous and will eat people (as previously observed) or anything else when they’re hungry.
Fourth, they leave truckloads of fertilizer everywhere they go.
Fifth, it takes a domestic hog about 2 to 3 weeks to return to the feral state.
Sixth, they do make good pets, which would give the kids over there someone to play with.
Rounding up the piggies in the South and deploying them to the Middle East will not only support the war effort, it will reduce the feral piggie population in this country considerably.
I completely support the Hogs of War effort.
Had a 300 pounder in my yard last night – a runaway domestic sow who was headed for a busy street when the wife heaaded her off into our fenced back yard. Thought seriously about getting some dinner out of it but rethought that maybe stepping out into a back yard by now crowded with cops /sheriffs with a gun might not be a smart thing to do. Have to admit, in my youth I was accused of bringing some real hogs home, but the wife outdid me this time. Most women bring home puppies or kittycats…
Round ’em up from Hawaii, they’re an invasive destructive species over there.
Where in North America are hogs -not- an invasive, destructive species?
In another century, hogs may have displaced -us- if the kritter-kooks have their way.
In Texas they guesstimate we have 2-3 million. We can afford to donate a few hundred thousand.
Wild hogs are smart, strong, can live off of most anything, and are hard wired in the pissed off mode.
Cry, Havok, indeed.
Hiding behind women and kids or not, bomb some sense into them, or out of them, whichever works.
Forgive the “Fury” quote, but:
“People get in the way, that’s their problem. You do what you gotta do.”
“Hogs gotta eat, same as worms.”
God rest the troops we lost and be with their families.
I as about to say that maybe the “hogs” thread was a bit out of lane for the posted article on two deaths of US servicemen.
Then again, if that was me dead, I would be laughing my incorporeal ass off at a memorial thread of “hogs of war” and “ship 5000 hogs to the Caliphate”.
So let us create days of swine and roses……
Oh, I think it’s a good way to honor the dead.
Days of Swine and Roses… nicely done.
