To the Gates of Hell

From: IIP Digital

“When people harm Americans, we don’t retreat. We don’t forget,” Vice President Biden said in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, as he talked about Steven Sotloff, an American journalist who was murdered by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

“Steven put his life on the line as a journalist to tell the stories of the Syrian people,” Biden said. “Because of the barbaric acts of ISIL, he was taken from us.”

But history has shown that the American people cannot be intimidated, the vice president said, adding that the United States “made sure that Osama bin Laden would never ever again threaten the American people.”

The “American people are so much stronger, so much more resolved than any enemy can fully understand,” Biden said. “As a nation, we’re united. And when people harm Americans, we don’t retreat. We don’t forget. We take care of those who are grieving. And when that’s finished, they should know we will follow them to the gates of Hell until they are brought to justice. Because Hell is where they will reside. Hell is where they will reside.”

A lot has been written about the importance of soldiers and medical instructors to not only have hemostatic kits, tourniquets CAT (Combat Application Tourniquet), Israeli bandages and so on, but also to be able to use it all!

So once again we emphasize that individual first aid kits are issued to those fighters who have been gone through the basic training !!!!

With the help of Lily Boyko, for the soldiers of the 80th and 24th battalions, training was conducted with the instructors of Patriot Defence: IFAK + Combat Lifesaver Training for Ukraine and American doctors (with years of experience in disaster medicine) – George, Sergey, Lyonya, Patrick – thank you !!!!

For 4 days (from August 25 to 28) of intense training on the ground, there were about 500 soldiers and medical instructors (including about 140 from the 24th).
