Johnny Punani2 Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,83286,00.html Coalition troops went all the way to the heart of the Iraqi capital, smashing through Republican Guard units as they charged into the city. In one skirmish, Marines with bayonets battled Arab fighters from abroad in a marsh on Baghdad's outskirts. Hand-to-hand combat!!! :box: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 The Arab world has long hung their masculinity hats on the idea that Americans were unwilling to mix it up man to man. They have scoffed at our use of guided missiles and technology and unwillingness to get our hands dirty. It's interesting to think about the effect this kind of headline will have on the Arab street, as word of it spreads through the Arab world over the coming weeks and months. The Americans have technology AND balls? Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 Indeed. and interesting. Our friend Kefka said as much in a thread one day last year to yours truly. http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=7491&perpage=15&display=&highlight=man%20to%20man&pagenumber=3 "Yeah you just posted the fact that the US couldn't fight man to man, bombed the place, and STILL couldn't get Al Qaaeda fighters. Tsk tsk tsk." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
