thanks marines, prevented terror attack
 

Thank god that two US Marines happened to be in the Thalys (high speed train) from Amsterdam to Paris. They noticed the terrorist loading and locking in the toilet and were able to overpower him when he came out. Unfortunately one Marine seems to be severely injured, but they have prevented hugh loss of live as he had an AK47, 9 magazines and an assortment of knives. With nowhere to go this could have become a huge dissaster.

My thoughts are with the brave Marine who was injured.

No points for correctly guessing the origin or religion of the attacker...

Radical Quaker from Mid-Ohio?

The bad guy is from Morocco, a predominantly muslim country. I'm going to guess he is a follower of the religion of peace. Shame the marines didn't eliminate the garbage from the gene pool on the spot.

I love our men / woman in uniform.

Thanks marines. Impressive.

Amen. ^^^
We recently toured West Point and were escorted around by a sophomore cadet, and met several others during our visit. Smart, courteous, humble, fit- just all around an amazing group of young men.
There is hope for this country yet.

God Bless our armed forces!!!

Bloody impressive.

I wonder how many lives those young marines just saved on that train. 50?, 100? More?

Saving the French, even in France!

Viva la marine

It was in Belgium but don't let that stand in the way of your Fox news brainwashing.

Semantics. They did a massive service for the lives of the people on board the train, who gives a **** what country it was in. Hope they got a few good ones in.

I was joking. Lighten up Francis, don't get your surrender monkey panties in a wad.:cool:

There's a pic of the guy floating around...looks like they got more than a few good ones in!

Those two men are real men and make me happy to call them heroes.

Booyah Marines!

I think our boys in the Corps have had their fill after that sneak attack on unarmed USMC recruiters in Tenn. No more make nice.

Can't wait to see that.

Great story and result... We really need to kick some more "goals" like this.

When are we going to stop playing and get serious with these criminals? Enough already!
