By Micah Halpern
Tuesday March 22, 2016 I've Been Thinking: Firebase Bell is a secret US special-forces base in northern Iraq. Staff Sergeant Louis Cardin is the marine killed by the ISIS rocket that struck the base. The number of injured during the attack has not been released. We do know, however, that the company at the base is composed of less than 200 soldiers. ISIS discovered the US base and figured that they could hit it from a distance by launching rockets into the camp. That maneuver was so successful that ISIS returned two days later and did it again. This is a major flaw in US security. ISIS rocket launchers and shoulder launched multi-purpose assault weapons (SMAW) are easy to carry - but the United States needs to prevent ISIS from getting close enough to shoot at their base. If the United States does not make this correction ISIS, will continue to shoot at them, day after day, damaging the base and putting the lives of the military stationed at Firebase Bell at risk.
