Or in the documents its called relentless pursuit of the enemy. and i will tell you, i dont know where it came from, but it makes about as much sense in what it is referring to as the affordable healthcare act. karen told you there was no pre-assault fire. we had air weapons teams overhead. they will werent allowed to fire. they sit there and watched their american brothers be slain, even after they were shot down. no one where the shots came from. the rfgs came from they did not fire back here ...
