Sunni Man will never be where the bullets are flying. His personality is cowardly.

Really?? ......I'm a Vietnam Vet 1971-72

And you Fake Jake? .....

Korea on the DMZ several times in the seventies and eighties and other places I am not allowed to discuss.

You were a draftee forty years ago and had little choice in Vietnam.

You won't here because you don't have to.

i know you want me to share that teenage once-Muslim convert in whom you are interested, I am told, gave a beautiful witness at her church's equivalent of altar call two days ago. Come back to Jesus, SM.

Fake Jake never misses an opportunity to denigrate the US serviceman.

Yes I had choice Jake.

Many guys joined the Reserves or the National Guard to avoid the draft and being sent to Vietnam.

While others fled to Canada or just hid out under a false name and ID.

My high school friend and I were drafted on the same day from my small town. He was killed during a "sapper" attack on FB Mary Ann and his name is on the Wall.

But according to Fake Jake we were stupid cowards for answering the call. ......

Seriously- what is it with you people? After the 9/11 attacks did you mock the firemen who went into the towers?
Give people their due- what is so hard about that?

In the days after the bloody end of twin French hostage crises Friday, stories of life-saving courage are beginning to filter out. One of the most striking is the story of Lassana Bathily, a young immigrant from Mali who literally provided police with the key to ending the hostage crisis at the supermarket.

Bathily was in the store’s underground stockroom when gunman Amedy Coulibaly burst in upstairs, according to accounts given to French media and to a friend of Bathily’s who spoke to The Associated Press. Bathily turned off the stockroom’s freezer and hid a group of frightened shoppers inside before sneaking out through a fire escape to speak to police. Initially confused for the attacker, he was forced to the ground and handcuffed.

Once police realized their mistake, he provided them with the key they needed to open the supermarket’s metal blinds and mount their assault.


“The guy was so courageous,” said Mohammed Amine, a 33-year-old friend and former coworker of Bathily’s who spoke to him about the assault on Saturd

A police official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to talk on the record, explained that the key Bathily gave police allowed them to storm the supermarket without having to punch their way through the shutters.
