@gameraccounts I wonder what makes your oppinion so valid. Been there? Have you seen what the Taliban have done to women and children? They cut people's heads off with shoelaces....YES shoelaces. And when you're in contact, it's very simple to shoot back...there isn't any "hands tied" by politicians. You don't want to intitiate a fight by capping an innocent civy BRAH....that just creates a bad situation. When you're life is on the line, you want the population on your side. You wouldnt know

thats what im talking about, always aware. call the ambush out before it happens

[gameraccounts]

these murderers are equal parts coward / fascist / manchilds. They 'coalition of the willing' are complete pussies compared to the sneaky and brutal soldiers they fight. Albeit their hands are tied by politicians, if they were let loose they have the potential to be the fiends all soldiers have wet dreams of being....

If you werent so stupid to join up to kill and terrorize on behalf of elites who dont give a fuck about you or anybody else who isnt rich like them I'd say great job killing bra

@AfKman101 I take it you would rather them not shoot while running providing no moving cover?

They are battle tested and proven Infantry.
