A Marine Scout Sniper in a "target-rich environment". Keep your powder dry, young warrior, and come home safely.

Long-range BANG!

"In negotiations aimed at ending the standoff in the city, the insurgents have demanded that the Marines pull back their snipers."


The terrorists don't know where the snipers are, uhh sure we pulled em out just like you asked.

Good post. I'm glad our guys aren't hampered by overly restricitive rules of engagement. Snipers are the original precision-guided weapon.

[kittymyrib]

Thank you, all you Southern and Texas boys, for learning to shoot so well from your dads and grampas. We are raising another generation to follow you.

"As a sniper your goal is to completely demoralize the enemy," he said.

I'm sure that getting shot by one of the guys is very demoralizing!

But the cease-fire allows the Marines to carry out defensive operations within the city, which, among other things, they define as allowing fire on insurgents who display weapons, break the curfew or move their forces toward U.S. troops.

What a difficult job!.... Since they all look like the enemy! ;-)

I hope this young warrior gets a clean, clear shot at Zaqwari.

OHHHH....LMAO....

I needed a good joke this morning!

Old sniper saying...

If you run, you'll just die tired.

Its not a cease-fire, as we in the West understand it, with all the obligations that that entails. In the minds of the enemy it is a hudna - a time to rest and restore yourself and reposition to best advantage for when you can resume the action. Let us not get our terms confused here. The Marines have read the Muslim warfare handbook (The Quran) and got it right.

For ragies who best tactics are spray and pray with an Ak47 shoot off a rifle grenade accurate aimed fire must seem like a super weapon

While official policy discourages Marines from counting the people they have killed, the custom continues. In nearly two weeks of conflict here, the corporal from a Midwestern city has emerged as the top sniper, with 24 confirmed kills. By comparison, the top Marine Corps sniper in Vietnam killed 103 people in 16 months.

"As a sniper your goal is to completely demoralize the enemy," he said. "I couldn't have asked to be in a better place. I just got lucky, to be here at the right time and with the right training."

The military has asked that sniper names not be published. Insurgents were said to have placed a bounty for the killing of any Marine sniper.

"If you're going to be a sniper," said the corporal, "you just have to accept the things that come with it."

Gee, I wonder where the "insurgents" are getting the money from? I bet most of them getting shot are the idiots who think dancing about waving an RPG confers godhood, when in actuality it's targetdom...talk about demoralizing...

Now this is extremely good news. For too long in our history we demeaned the importance of snipers. Truly, they can change the course of the conflict. These Muslim gangsters can't afford to show their faces for fear they will be picked off. They are instead cowering in their holes. This is the way it should be fought. Just keep up the seige, take your time, and eventually these vermin will come up for air. They have no choice. In this instance, time is on our side. Let's use it.
