Ninja Attacks Special Operations Soldiers Training in California
Has anyone ever gone outside to smoke a cigarette and been attacked by a ninja? Well that is what happened to a Special Operations soldier while training in California:
Nonlethal rounds failed to stop a sword-wielding man dressed as a ninja who authorities say injured two special operations soldiers, then brandished his blade at sheriff’s deputies last month at a California airport, according to authorities.
Deputies from a Kern County Sheriff’s Office substation in Ridgecrest, Calif., responded to a call of an assault with a deadly weapon Sept. 18 at Inyokern Airport, the office said in a statement posted Friday on Twitter. The airport is located in the Mojave Desert, near Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake.
When deputies arrived on the scene, they found some 26 special operations soldiers training at the airport “hunkered down” in the hangar after an attack by a man dressed as a ninja, Ridgecrest Police Department records show. Stars and Stripes first reported details of the incident, which was revealed in a military report leaked on social media, earlier this week.
Officers discovered the suspect had assaulted one victim with a sword and hit another victim after tossing a rock through a hangar window, the sheriff’s office said.

You can read more at the link, but the wannabe ninja assassin was arrested after the attacks and appears to be a nutjob.
Well to be fair it’s the Night Stalkers, not exactly an SF “A” team, and being at China Lake likely didn’t have live ammo or we might reading about a dead wannabe ninja…
Up next…
– SEALs attack by a pirate
– airmen attacked by man dressed as Big Bird
– space force peppered with meteor shower
It’s like a “deadliest warrior” episode!
Ninja versus Special forces (in camo),
Can the ninja win?
Shuriken.
(bah dum bump)
Chickenhead I smell a limerick incoming!
LIMERICK
Twenty-six special forces or more
“hunkered down” on the hanger floor.
They feared a sword and a rock,
and a man dressed as a sock.
Now why is it we cannot win war?
Oh, to be as trenchant and clever as CH (aka “the poultry”).
