I remember Jessica Lynch, who fought Iraqis until she ran out of ammunition, and Pat Tillman, who was slaughtered by the Taliban, both according to the US Department of Defense.

Now we have a Brit who apparently wandered into a bunch of Muslims and said he’d wear some explosive shorts onto an airplane.  We don’t know whether he supplied the shorts or not.  Turns out he’s a British double agent, who had no intention of putting on those shorts.  And I don’t blame him.  Would be hard on the genitalia.

However, the CIA has claimed credit for “foiling” that plot.  Even though it was a British double agent.
