Well done, Americans! Will the wounded servicemen be eligible for a PH? It's called the GWOT.

For searching purposes ...

Terrorist attack on French train

Unarmed US Marines foil suspected terrorist attack onboard high-speed train between Amsterdam and Paris after they take down Kalashnikov-wielding Moroccan gunman known to intelligence services

A suspected Moroccan terrorist opened fire with a Kalashnikov on board a high speed train in northern France
Eyewitnesses said two U.S. Marines on the train disarmed the 26-year-old gunman and pinned him to the ground
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve praised the Marines who almost certainly 'averted a disaster'
The gunman is understood to have boarded the train, which had more than 500 passengers, in Brussels, Belgium

Just heard on the radio that they may have heard him load and charge the AK and were waiting for him.

Excellent work, it looks like he bounced his face off the ground too, how clumsy of him

Two unarmed Marines and one AK wielding dirtbag...not a fair fight.
"The two unarmed servicemen spotted the 26-year-old Moroccan acting suspiciously and heard him trying to arm his weapon in the toilet of the high speed train between Amsterdam and Paris."

"The suspected terrorist had at least nine full magazines of ammunition holding almost 300 rounds. He was also carrying a knife."

I couldn't be more proud of those guys. I have a bunch of Belgian clients and I've had two "attaboys" emailed to me. They were extending thanks to all of the U.S.
