US Servicemembers stop active shooter on board Paris train

I liked the story better when it was Marines ... :whatever:

None the less, well done gentlemen - details still coming out but it reads as if one of the men could hear the terrorist trying to chamber a round in the bathroom - that man wins 10,000 point for situational awareness! :thumbsup:
 
Let's see if the military can do the right thing and give them Valor awards and Purple Hearts for fighting the GWOT, and not some lame Soldiers Medal peacetime equivalent.
 
****UPDATE*****

The Soldier and the Airmen are recovering just fine except for a single issue.

Neither one of them are walking correctly. A source close to the case quoted the doctor as saying, "I am relatively sure it's because of their massive fucking balls."

Well done, boys.
 
I am always elated when I see men step up to the plate and handle business rather than be counted among the sheep who turn a blind eye and follow the flock into cowardly obscurity.
 
Thanks. Wanted to do it myself, but don't think you can as a regular user.
 
ROFLMAO!
Airman, Guardsman Heroically Subdue Media Interest In Female Army Rangers
PARIS, France — Two American servicemen are being hailed after they subdued media interest in female Army Rangers, sources confirmed today. A civilian who also participated is being widely disregarded.
Sr. Airman Spencer Stone and Oregon National Guard Spc. Alek Skarlatos acted swiftly to move the news cycle along after it remained stagnant on the topic of women in combat for more than week, by tackling a man who apparently opened fire on a high speed train in France.
“We knew it was time for action,” said Stone. “We had to do something before everyone forgot there were men in the armed forces at all.”

France train gunman Ayoub El-Khazzani 'dumbfounded' at terror allegations and claims he found AK-47 'by chance' in a park


Ayoub El-Khazzani, the man suspected of attempting a massacre on a French train, is "dumbfounded" that he is being accused of terrorism and claims he found the AK-47 assault rifle "by chance", according to his former lawyer.

Sophie David, a lawyer who was assigned to El-Khazzani when he was detained in Arras but is no longer representing him, said he denies firing a single shot.

Speaking to BFM-TV, David said: "He is dumbfounded that his act is being linked to terrorism," adding that El-Khazzani describes himself as a homeless man.

"He says that by chance he found a suitcase with a weapon, with a telephone, hidden away," she said.

"He said he found it in the park which is just next to the Midi Station in Brussels, where he often sleeps with other homeless people."

Explaining what El-Khazzani claims he planned to do with the rifle, David said: "He planned to hold up the train, then shoot out a window and jump out to escape."


"When I told him about the media attention he didn't understand," she added.

The 26-year-old gunman is belived to have links to Isis and radical Islam, and was on the Schengen register, a watch-list of "persons of interest" that is shared by 27 European countries.
