A sword-wielding man dressed as a ninja attacked several special operations soldiers who were training at a California airport, reportedly forcing them to shelter in a hangar and inflicting wounds that required stitches.
The bizarre assault took place at Inyokern Airport, an airfield in the Mojave Desert about 100 miles north of Los Angeles, sometime after 1 a.m. on Sept. 18, according to what appears to be a military incident report shared on Instagram and Reddit.
Their names were redacted in the photo shared on social media, but one was identified as a staff sergeant and the other as a captain. The details suggest that they are members of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, an elite helicopter unit known as the Night Stalkers.
@rangerrebew Ok,that explains it. The media doesn't know diddly-squat about "special operations troops". These guys were helicopter pilots and crew,not ground soldiers.
If this bozo had actually attacked a Special Ops team,there would be a team hanging a new sword on the wall of their team room by now,and that bozo would be worm food.
Attacking a Spec Ops team armed with every weapon up to and including machine guns with a sword is NOT a smart thing to do if you want to keep living.
AND.......,since they will be in isolation in a restricted area,they can kill you and no questions will be asked.
What *I* want to know is WTF happened with the MP's or AP's who were supposed to have been patrolling the area to keep intruders out? Something has gone seriously wrong when a nutcase like this can infiltrate a secure classified area like that.
