Delta and SAS hunt ISIS

Earlier this month we talked about US Special Forces Master Sergeant Johnathan J. Dunbar and UK Special Air Services Sergeant Matt Tonroe who were killed in an IED ambush near Manbij, Syria. The UK’s Daily Star reports that US soldiers from Delta and UK SAS troopers are hunting the ISIS insurgents who perpetrated the ambush;

The Daily Star Sunday understands a joint British and US task force has killed at least a dozen terrorists in a series of night raids in the Manbij area of northern Syria.

In one operation, two terrorists were shot dead by SAS snipers while laying a roadside bomb.

At least six more were killed in a drone strike on an Isis bomb factory. One source last night said the SAS men were in no mood to take prisoners.

The source said every SAS soldier based in Syria had asked to be sent to the area where Sgt Tonroe was killed so that they could take revenge.

He said: “The attacks have been unrelenting – assaults are being launched night and day. “We’re not giving the terrorists room to breathe or recover.

“These are kill-not-capture missions.

“Every operation throws up more intelligence and that is used for the next operation. We are hitting them from the ground and air. They can run but they can’t hide.

“If they fight they die.”

    Refreshing to see an administration that doesn’t talk about “bringing them to justice” but just kills them.

    1. Hack Stone

      On the plus side, these actions are providing job opportunities for the people of the Middle East, which according to the last administration, was the driving influence on turmoil in that part of the world. The new job opportunities? The funeral industry.

      1. Roger in Republic

        When the shootn’ stops there will be plenty of jobs in the re-construction industry.

        1. Fyrfighter

          Yep.. takes lots of hands to make mud bricks…

    2. FatCircles0311

      Don’t worry they’ll eventually try to charge these troops when they come back from deployment. It’s what the UK does now.

    SAS trooper: waqf ‘aw sa’utliq alnaar (translation: Halt or I’ll shoot.)

    Bang, bang.

    US Army SEAL: Nice shot mate.

    SAS trooper: Good thing he halted.

    1. Club Manager, USA ret.

      Yeah, yeah, US Navy SEAL. Wish this program let us correct typos.

        AutoCorrect can be a real Mother Forklift at times.

        1. Club Manager, USA ret.

          Agree. I initially had US Army Ranger but since I was not positive I changed it to SEAL. Guess I should have said someone with a tattoo, Harley, bikers vest and doo rag.

    ISIS in the area will have a very exciting, if brief, life ahead of them.

    1. The Other Whitey

      The muj done fucked up, as Will Smith would say.

      1. OC

        They just now are figuring out the huge can of whoop-ass that is descending upon their miserable asses.

  4. 2banana

    And obama thought they just needed jobs…

  5. 26Limabeans

    “kill-not-capture”

    Im good with that.

    1. Crowfeather

      I love the sound of that.

    2. You want to capture at least a few to get more intel for the next attack…

  6. rgr769

    Every dead ‘Slamofascist is a plus and a minus at the same time. A positive because there is one less, and a minus for the same reason.

  7. sj

    But, but, can’t we “Coexist”?

    1. AW1Ed

      Is that like “Coaxial?” Then yes, we can Coaxial. You Army guys and your weird terms…

      *grin*

      1. borderbill (a NIMBY/BANANA)

        No.

      2. rgr769

        Most of our tankers and ex-tankers would like to “coaxe” them to their 72 Helen Thomases.

      3. E4 Mafia For Life.

        I loved my M240C. A most eloquent machine gun to complement the 25MM.

        1. Dinotanker

          Indeed! The M240 was 21st century compared to that thing we had before; the M73! The M73 must have been designed to self disassemble and dump all the little parts directly into the bilge of the tank. UGH.

          The ‘240 did away with all that nonsense and looked pretty badass as well.

  8. The Other Whitey

    Why wasn’t this the plan from the start?

    1. Roger in Republic

      TOW, because as any good Lib knows, if you kill a man he can only vote absentee.

    2. FatCircles0311

      Because western libtards are the ultimate I-can-change-him girlfriend of Islamists.

    If you’re stupid enough to pick up a weapon or be anywhere near where American or British Operatives are hunting, well…as a brilliant American comedian says “Here’s your sign”.
    “If you fight, you die”…Love it!

    1. rgr1480

      If you fight, you die”…Love it!

      And if you run, you die tired.

      1. OldSoldier54

        Yes.

  10. Green Thumb

    About fucking time we took this mentality.

  11. MrBill

    Having spent a good bit of time in airports this past week, when I saw the headline my first thought was that airlines were getting involved in the War On Terror. ?

  12. chooee lee

    That is one “A” list I don’t want my name on.

  13. A Proud Infidel®™

    AAAAaaahhhhhh, the refreshing feeling of knowing that ADULTS are at the helm now, kill ’em all and let Satan eat their souls.

    1. Inbred Redneck

      Well put,API. Nobody could’ve said it better.

  14. E-6 type, 1 ea

    I can think of worse people I’d rather have chasing after me…

    No, actually, no I can’t. I’d say they are all most assuredly very, very fucked.

    1. STSC(SW/SS)

      They will be penetrated.

    Sic ’em Men, let their widows cry and sing songs of their cowardice and deaths while their parents starve. regards, Alemaster

    Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.

    1. Green Thumb

      Conan rocked!

      But keep in mind that he needed help getting down from the Tree of Woe.

    2. The Other Whitey

      What is best in life?

      1. Green Thumb

        Crom laughs at your four winds.

    Today is a good day to die and they will die with dishonor.

    ISIS S-1 types must be busy as hell updating insurance, RED, and pay arrears forms!

  20. Ggraybeard

    Have to say, the “kill not capture” mindset is the one most likely to achieve long-term results.

    I approve.

    1. Graybeard

      Hate it when I cannot even type on a regular keyboard.

  21. OldSoldier54

    As others have wondered, I also have to ask: why haven’t we been frickin’ doing this out of the gate.

    There is no reasoning with this kind. Blackjack Pershing had the right idea. They love blood so much, let us give them an ocean full, enough to drown a multitude.

    All theirs.

  22. OldSoldier54

    I hope the snake eaters put the fear in ’em so bad, the few survivors pee their pants whenever they hear a rumor that, “The Punishers are back.”

    And the FNGs fresh from whereever see this and reconsider.

    Or, maybe not, and soon meet their 72 demons.

    I’m good with either.
