Recognizing that our military has had their hands tied from using the skills and the training that they possess, Luttrell offered his thoughts on how to stop the growing occupation of ISIS and its conquering of different lands.
“Best thing you can do is jerk the chains off those guys and let them go to work.”
He went on to say that he believes the 300 Marines who live on the Al Asad Air Base could completely obliterate ISIS if they were allowed to do what they do best, which is to fight.
“With 300 Marines, you could probably take over Iraq if you wanted to and get rid of ISIS completely. Make no mistake about it, Marines are war fighters. I mean they are really good at what they do. The only time they are not good at what they do is when someone puts the shackles on them.”
He hit the nail right on the head. Our military, and especially our Marines, known as the finest fighting force in the world, could easily take out this pitiful excuse for an “army”. The problem is that armchair quarterbacks in Washington keep getting in the way, and won’t let them just do their job and get it done.
