This needs the preface that the norks attacked and brutally killed some americans who were unarmed and clearing the tree because it blocked an op. They told the norks about it well beforehand, then the norks showed up, said some bullshit about the dear leader having planted it himself, then attacked when the americans didnt give a shit
that file name is glorious
>and as far as I know the only casualty to a wolf suffered by an on-duty US servicemen
There's a remote possibility that some of the MIA in the Korean war or the Polar Bear Expedition got killed by wolves, but that's something.
They hacked the unarmed Americans to death with axes it was fucked. The US responded with armored vehicles and the Air Force showed up with nuclear armed bombers.
How the fuck did someone as dumb as Mao get in charge?

>In addition, a 64-man task force of the South Korean Special Forces accompanied them, armed with clubs and trained in Tae Kwon Do, supposedly without firearms. However, once they parked their trucks near the Bridge of No Return, they started throwing out the sandbags that lined the truck bottoms, and handing out M16 rifles and M79 grenade launchers that had been concealed below.[3] Several of the commandos also had M18 Claymore mines strapped to their chests with the firing mechanism in their hands, and were shouting at the North Koreans to cross the bridge.
Wasnt there one where a squad of SAS commandos got arrested?

They actually got them back in 2004, but under the premise that they're only used for defence and not allowed to stage their own paramilitary shenanigans.
So they still have to rope in cops (state or feds) to do the actual raids- or in the unlikely event its really gone so completely fucked in the ear: 2CDO or SASR
this is some crazy shit

someone post the one """battle""" where the nips put down a mine in the sea and won even though they werent present when the mutt army ship blew up
They weren't unarmed. They had mattocks in the truck and axes for cutting the tree. The Nork side had clubs and crowbars.
lmao wait so they lost in a melee to a couple of starving turbomanlet norks?
They were outnumbered. The zerg rush is real senpai.
Back then, the norks actually had financial, agricultural and military support by the PRC and USSR. They weren't always starving turbo manlets.
>a couple
It was an entire company of norks (~150-200) vs. like 4 dudes.
It was winter. The sea was frozen.

Is this why the Sydney hostage situation was such a monumental blunder?

So if the British weren't even present at all, then how the fuck did the Germans lose 2 destroyers?

The Heinkels bombed them
The wikipedia article for this is great. Just drive right into the middle of the compound, blow a whistle so everyone masses out in the open right outside your car, then shoot them all.

This shit reads like it's straight out of an episode of Hogan's Heroes
I have no idea why the fuck I used the link for the Red River Bridge War. I meant to link the wikipedia page for Castle Itter.

And then they convinced the Western world and the media that they were a bunch of Refugees who Dindunuthin and the media bought it.
Friendly Fire isn't.
I still remember one story about Overlord when the American Bombers decided to bomb from North to South instead of east to west like they were supposed to.
Short bombing wiped out the first line of troops and caused the AA gunners of both sides to temporarily team up to shoot down the bombers attacking them.
Apparently as the American planes were being blown out of the skies both the Allied and Axis soldiers started cheering their deaths.
South Koreans are beautiful

Because it was an interesting unique war.

Internal US battles is always curious
That was interesting
Nope, that's '#justcopthings' and the justice system not doing its job locking them up in the first place
Fairly much any of the bigger intelligence and counter-terrorist players will point at you and laugh if you call them-
>there's a mad cunt with a black standard and a shotgun in a cafe
>that's nice, does he have a bomb?
>well he's brown
>but does he have a bomb?
>I dunno, he has a beard
>well you know how you get paid every month to enforce civil laws?
>yeah
>well, along with all the swat and bomb disposal stuff we teach you?
>yeah
>well yeah... put down the fucking doughnut and go do your fucking job
Because unlike the police, you send in the hard-knock squaddies from 1-Sabre or 2CDO, they don't actually guarantee that your hostages will survive the circus and also just the modus of operation means that the only real guarantee they'll give you is-
>everyone in that area looking like a threat is probably dead, detained or dying
>baby's first book of civilian and legal rights gets completely thrown out coloured in a nice shade of red, with maybe some brown
Military 'detention' isn't the same as civilian detention. Cops are fairly nice about it really, you'll get wrestled, tased, cap-sprayed, punched a bit and handcuffed, if you're a real dick you'll get shot.
But the military option is basically obvious threat = dead first, anyone who isn't flat on their face complexly immobile gets dead... that just leaves everyone else zip-tied and probably savagely beaten unconscious.
Moved to Texas like 4 months ago and this is about the 20th time I've seen an assblasted Okie regarding something Texas related. What's with the hate?
North Korea actually had the better economy back then. They had lots of natural resources which have since been depleted.
>Winter War
>a soviet batallion outflanks the finnish lines near the village of Illomantsi and is threatening the entire defence line

I hate being stuck here
Mines strapped to chest? I'm sorry what?

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE
mate this is completely unreadable. I tried like three times but it's just a bunch of nonsensical racist garbage. Can you re-write it without the Jow Forums meme shit?
>SEVERAL MERCHANT SHIPS CAPTURED
Oy vey
>I shudder to tell that many of our people, harassed by the madness of excessive hunger, cut pieces from the buttocks of the Saracens already dead there, which they cooked, but when it was not yet roasted enough by the fire, they devoured it with savage mouth.
Normally these are shit, but this one is gold.
Your writing style sucks. Go back to first grade English
Is this the one where the general killed his concubine while he soldiers were begging him to stop and they ate her?
Any evidence of this at all would be appreciated
Second for source
Ungrateful faggot, OKC is a GIFT.
alright, here's a (possibly) stroke-free version:
>Palestinian terrorists plan an attack on an Israeli port
>to avoid suspicion, they get some fake passports and arrive to the destination by cruise ship
>the whole plan goes to shit when the ship's crew spots one of them fondling his gun, there's brief shootout and the terrorists decide to hijack the ship
>cue diplomatic shitshow
>to make things worse, they killed an American hostage and are threatening to kill more
>negotiators shitting their pants at this point
>plans are made for a hostage rescue attempt
>before the operation can start, the terrorists realize they fucked up and decide to release all the hostages
>as part of the deal they made with the negotiators, they were to be flown to Tunisi
>however, their plane gets intercepted by American F14s and forced to land at an Italian air base in Sicily
>in the confusion, the local military personnel surrounds the plane, only to be surrounded themselves by Delta in a Mexican standoff
>cue another diplomatic shitshow
>the Americans want to capture the terrorists, the Italians insist the whole ordeal happened under their jurisdiction and so it's their own problem
>after some bantz are exchanged between Reagan and the Italian prime minister, things are resolved peacefully and the terrorists are tried under Italian law
>moral of the story: the 80s were a crazy time and tyling while you're tired as shit makes you sound way more autistic than you actually are
hope that's more readable, I'm off to kill myself now

>French and Venetian victory
I know it seems impossible by today standards, but at one point the French weren't massive faggots and actually won some fights. Crazy and hard to believe, but true!
Yeah, but that wasn't REAL communism
Just move back to California you fucker
