The US Marines prevented a Euro blood bath at their own personal risk and expense.

"... US Marine is in critical condition after tackling a Kalashnikov-wielding gunman ... one of the Marines was shot and another stabbed ..."

Two of the American men who overpowered the gunman, Spencer Stone and Alek Skarlatos, are members of the Air Force and the National Guard respectively.

... but how many understand origin of the animosity toward France , as a former aggressor and Morocco occupier ? It's important to emphasize , that hate is the fruit of violence and injustice and can be held in victims minds for a long time. Unfortunately many thinks , that retaliation in any form can cure mutual odium . Since open battle has limitations , terrorism will remind us , that war doesn't end in formal , or political agreements . This can apply to all enemies , who are unable to forgive and forget . There is no formula of "submissive peace" , so wouldn't be better do not target others in the first place ?

"The French conquest of Morocco took place in 1911 in the aftermath of the Agadir Crisis, when Moroccan forces besieged the French-occupied city of Fez. Approximately one month later, French forces brought the siege to an end.

On 30 March 1912, Sultan Abdelhafid signed the Treaty of Fez, formally ceding Moroccan sovereignty to France, which established a protectorate.

On 17 April 1912, Moroccan infantrymen mutinied in the French garrison in Fez. The Moroccans were unable to take the city and were defeated by a French relief force. In late May 1912, Moroccan forces unsuccessfully attacked the enhanced French garrison at Fez. The last aftermath of the conquest of Morocco occurred in September 1912 when French colonial forces under Colonel Mangin defeated Moroccan resistance at the Battle of Sidi Bou Othman".

This guy was Moroccan - not Algerian . Read the story and recognize the facts , so learning wouldn't hurt .

Great work !!

I got that-YOU brought up Algeria- I was wondering what your post was about; especially in light of the fact that the OP was nothing about Algeria, Morocco or Timbucktoo...it was about a group trained to run towards the threat. learning context wouldn't hurt.

Rick, you will have better luck talking to a wall. Save your oxygen. Great job Marines, Air Force or any soldiers of democracy and freedom as the OP was trying to celebrate. Death to all that will terrorize our way of life by targeting innocent civilians. Put on a uniform and come stick your nose in our profession.

Thanks . All those brutal acts around the world ( as we condemn and dis-aprove ) comes from the "Psychology of Liberation" , which have deeper roots in history of : oppressions , colonization , senseless killings , pre-empty wars , exploitation - so create counter effect , known as a retaliation syndrome . Don't ask me , how to prevent it ? The "killing gene" can be found in any person's motivated mind , transformed to the mental disorder , usually ended in bloody violence .

Again - Glory to Americans , who prevented further development of this terrorist attack !

Thanks for the update and correction.

CNN is reporting the shooter has a known history with the European counterterrorism authorities and French police.

2 members of U.S. military stop Islamist attacker on train in Belgium

... the gunman, a Moroccan national, was on the radar screen of European counterterrorism agencies for his radical jihadist views, the European counterterrorism official said.

A second security source told CNN the gunman was known by French intelligence. The official said it appeared the gunman was sympathetic to ISIS, but a full determination on his specific loyalties had yet to be reached. ...

LIMOLES .....

QUIT PISSING people off with your CRAP , STOP hijacking a factual thread with your BS that no one asked for. You continue to disrupt the pleasant atmosphere of this forum. Your HATE for americans is evident ... allow me to purchase for you a ONE-WAY ticket back to your home country with the stipulation that you not return to this horrible country of ours ... the good ole USA.

Americans prevented a wacko from murdering innocent civilians AGAIN !!!!

Stick to the F6B facts. :banghead:

Take a chill pill.

[lloydmoore1]

Well done indeed. They moved without hesitation and disregard for themselves they deserve respect and respect should be given and will be given....any other bullshit posts well is just that.

[willtill]

Glad that the French doctors were able to sew Spence's thumb back on... :yes:

[stroguy]

As I see it, the Air Force did a great job of coordinating the attack, sending vital intel to the Army dude and then following up with post attack photos and damage assessment.

[lloydmoore1]

Yes Arrow head formation, frontal with no support or cut off team. No time even for frag orders..well done

[stroguy]

Doesn't bode well for a French second amendment. Hey pal your face is bloodying my knuckles.

15. The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions:
-when they're ready.
-when you're not.

16. No OPLAN ever survives initial contact.
