This terrorist clearly didn’t know there was going to be US Marines on this train. I wonder what religion he was?

Two unarmed US Marines on board a high-speed train between Amsterdam and Paris foiled a terrorist attack after a gunman opened fire with an assault rifle, wounding three people.
The 26-year-old Moroccan national, who was known to security services, came out of the toilet brandishing the gun and opened fire. Fortunately, two US Marines were nearby and overpowered him before he could massacre passengers.
The suspected terrorist had at least nine full magazines of ammunition holding almost 300 rounds. He was also carrying a knife.
Unfortunately, one of the Marines was shot and is believed to be in a critical condition. It is feared that he was shot in the neck by the gunman.
It is understood that the gunman boarded the train, which had more than 550 passengers on board, in Brussels and made his move as soon as it crossed into France.
French media claim that the suspect was previously known to French security services and was living in Spain. He has already been linked to a number of radical Islamic groups. He was classed, according to FranceInfo.fr as ‘potentially dangerous’.

If those marines had not been there, I'm thinking everyone on that train might be dead. Semper Fi, boys. Hope the one who got shot makes it.

Now that is what I like to hear. Semper Fi! Reminds me of the brave souls on Flight 93 who over powered the terrorists and crashed in Pennsylvania, on 9 /11..."Let's Roll".

OH YEAH!!!! Gotta love our Marines. I certainly hope they get some kind of reward for their bravery. They prevented an outright massacre. True American heroes!!!!!

I want to recomend them for Whitehouse duty, to stay within 3ft. of POTUS at all times ..although it would be concidered hazardous duty due to the stench they are exposed to..

It has since been reported they weren't Marines, but Army and Air Force. However, they were American's and Hero's to boot. Marines, whom I dearly love, having been one many decades ago, don't have a monopoly on guts, derring-do or bravery. Semper Fi.

Yep, America, land of the free and home of the brave.
Semper Fidelis to however the two guys were. We Marines
aren't the only heroes, that also includes Army, Navy, Air Force,
and Coast Guard.

That is right Poppa, it pains me too, as I was crowing to friends about these "Marines". They were actually 3 buddies from grade school time. One Army (or Natl. Guard), one Air Force, one student and one British biz man. Whose necktie they used to tie the slime bag up. After they beat him unconscious..

One of them got cut up by the Moroccan...

And yes, the are truly American heroes... more of this kind of action could give some lone wolf k**lers reason to pause..

Medals for all of them...

It wasn't three Marines. One was Air Force, one was an inactive Guardsman and one was a civilian.

Doesn't matter. They are Americans, and they're HERO'S.
