US marine in critical condition - stopped terrorist attack

A marine is in critical condition after stopping a terrorist killing people on a train in France. Two marines intervened and one is in critical condition after being shot in the neck.

What heroes they both are. Both off duty and both still working and serving the interests of innocent people around them.

The government and media are saying that it's too early to say whether it's a terrorist attack but of course it is. When will this flirting around the issue nonsense stop? Just say it as it is.

The guy was Moroccan with known Islamic links and on a watch list and he is trying to unload 7 magazines into people on a train in western Europe. This guy is a terrorist pure and simple.

I hope the marine pulls through and I hope he is given the recognition and adulation a true hero deserves. The actions of these two brave men have saved the lives of many.

Total respect to them both.

No US marines involved! One was US army the other US airforce.

That mongrel with the gun was well prepared for lots of killing , he had loads of ammo .Well done to the yanks , just a shame they didn't snap the mongrels neck.

No US marines involved! One was US army the other US airforce.

To be fair, it does say "Marine" in most of the headlines. Regardless, very brave and selfless acts by these men

No US marines involved! One was US army the other US airforce.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the information.
