Some thoughts on defense against Muslim attack

If President Obama orders ground operations into Syria, repercussions in other countries are possible. Or, as Obama said when Assad began defending his government, “There will be consequences.”

A few thoughts from the perimeter:

• Kill them as far out as possible. Air and artillery are very good at this.

• Kill with machine guns as soon as the Muslims are in range.

• Remember than a machine gun is not an automatic rifle. Fire the machine gun in bursts of six to nine rounds, not two or three. This is important.

• In a mass attack, machine guns are best used firing at an angle to your front. Firing straight ahead limits the gun’s killing ability, since you have a small kill zone. Firing at an angle enables Muslims to walk into your fire and greatly increases your kill zone.

• If Muslims attack in small maneuver groups, you still fire bursts of six to nine rounds, at the point of greatest danger. The gun becomes a point weapon rather than an area weapon.

• Use grenade launchers at maximum range and come in as close as necessary. M203, Mark 19, XM25, RPG or AT4 – farthest as possible, closest as necessary. Whether the round is armed or not, getting smacked by one will do.

• With a rifle and the Muslims are a distance away, fire aimed shots. If the Muslims get too close, you might have to go to snap shots. Make every shot count.

• Center mass is best, but other places count.

• Stay as calm as possible. With adrenaline running, the body tends to race. Slow it down.

• Give no quarter. A Muslim who appears to surrender is lying. Kill him.

• Withdraw into yourself. Bring everything into a small place – breathing, heart beat, vision, hearing – but know where the outside is. When you are inside yourself, become a cold, hard, killing machine. Whatever is necessary, do it. You can bite out a man’s throat if you have to.

• Survive.
