KILZ FILLZ Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/09/30/special-ops-troops-hunkered-down-california-airport-hangar-after-nighttime-ninja-attack.html 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. Records from the Ridgecrest Police Department seem to confirm some details in the document posted to social media in a photo late Wednesday that said two soldiers had to receive stitches before returning to duty. 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. The staff sergeant was sitting outside the administration building at the airport hangar smoking a cigarette when he was approached by “an unknown person wearing full ninja garb,” the photographed document states. It is unclear from the records whether the man was an actual practitioner of ninjutsu. “Do you know who I am?” the ninja asked, to which the soldier replied no, according to the document, which has not been independently verified. “Do you know where my family is?” the black-clad man then asked. The staff sergeant again answered no. “The person in ninja garb began to slash at (the soldier), striking his phone and his knee and leg,” the record states. The staff sergeant took off running across the parking lot to escape the attacker, and then he jumped a fence and entered the administrative building, where he and the captain locked doors and called 911. Meanwhile, the man dressed as a ninja was “kicking and punching doors and windows” before leaving to grab a large block of asphalt, which he heaved through the window of the administration building. The captain was struck by the chunk of asphalt, said the document on social media. The first assistance call was recorded about 1:20 a.m., the Ridgecrest Police Department log shows. A man “with a sword” was in a parking lot, and there was at least one victim, the log states. About 30 minutes later came a second call via 911: “26 spec op military members doing training at the airport,” the log states. “Hunkered down in a hangar wondering where help is.” The ninja fled and was arrested elsewhere, according to the document shared on social media. It indicates that the soldiers were with F Co., 2nd Battalion, 160th SOAR, which had been tasked with support at Fort Irwin’s National Training Center. The incident report photo was shared Wednesday on the Instagram meme page Daddy SOARbucks before appearing on Reddit. The Daddy SOARbucks page posted several more memes mocking the company and the battalion over the incident. The regiment did not immediately respond to a query seeking confirmation of the information shared on social media. It was unclear which law enforcement agency responded to the calls. ——— https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/military-com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Kinda shows the militaries discipline, and restraint for not just smoking the dude for being mentally ill. Pretty sure there had to be at least some arms present where they were training, considering they were special ops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILZ FILLZ Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 @Mercerthats one of the things I was thinking too. It’s weird they didn’t just handle him but I can see why they wouldn’t. I also think it’s weird they would specials ops were training at public inyokern airport (that apparently a guy with a sword would get on to) when there is a military base right next to it that would’ve been a 100% controlled environment.

Mercer Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 @KILZ FILLZI'm assuming they're training there intentionally because it's not a controlled, and familiar environment. Also guessing they weren't going to get any sort of clearance to engage in a public area off base like that (especially in the U.S.) and just let the cops handle it. I can almost hear the awkward late night phone call to their CO "Sir, we're under attack, there's a Ninja with a... *phone hangs up*" lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILZ FILLZ Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 @Mercerthat makes a lot of sense. I think you’re right about the unfamiliar environment and about letting the cops take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
