Got them riding in a mini-van about 10 miles from where Baghdadi was neutralized:

US forces reportedly conducted an airstrike on a minivan in a north-western Syrian city on Tuesday, killing two targets just 10 miles away from where former ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in a raid in October.

The targeted strike was said to have involved the use of a secret ‘Ninja’ missile, known as the AGM-114R9X, which substitutes the explosive warhead found on standard missiles for a set of six folding sword-like blades, designed to smash through buildings and vehicles with minimal civilian casualties.

Some other towel head got hit with one of those about a year ago, not sure if we or the IDF deployed it.

Just seen your display, it was 2017. Time flies

IIRC a crossbow was sometimes used against the Vietcong as a sort of "screw with the enemies heads" kind weapon..... guessing the Jihadists are jumpy now....

So "slice and dice" returns to its literal meaning. Cool.

We had a different approach awhile back that was probably cheaper.

Still use em DD
going into najaf
Bn had ta skirt around a CBU strike area.
2 ADA guys ( Stinger team) 2/ 44th
Found a CBU that didnt petal out and deploy its wire lines.
For some dumb reason they picked it up and brought it back to their humvee.
We all heard a boom about a click behind us.
Didnt pay it no attention.
Later on we found out they both got killed by it.

Yes - busy.
Correct - the snipers were laid up somewhere else at the time.
