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

"It felt good to do my job, good to take a bad guy out."

Yesterday, I chatted with a patient that was a 15 year old in Holland during World War II. She told me how they had hidden two Jews in the house for a time and later had German troops quartered in their house against the family's wishes.

I jokingly asked her if "the Germans were nice" and she unexpectedly answered me that, yes, the German soldiers quartered in her house were actually very nice boys who had been drafted and didn't really want to be there unlike the SS who were pure evil.

One "good" thing about the Battle of Fallujah is that our Marine snipers will not have any future pangs of guilt about having to have killed two or three dozen "nice boys". The people being killed in Fajullah by our Marine snipers are definitely "bad guys" that need killing and our Marines feel good about their job.

Marine snipers, whose motto is "one shot, one kill," fire from rooftops in crowded urban areas of Fallujah, as well as exploring the city by foot. It sometimes takes hours to set up a shot, as the sniper hides in the distance, waiting for the opportune moment.

Good hunting son.

But...Gee whiz...The snipers might hurt somebody if they're not very careful.

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!

It is a shame we can't open one road into Falujah to allow more "targets" in.

[Stultis]

Keep drop'n 'em, Marines, and don't stop to stack 'em. Huhrah!

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.

Lessee here . . . Doing a little number crunching on my calculator . . .

That's 780 confirmed kills over the next 16 months!!!

Oh, yeah, baby!!! Wish I could be there as a young Marine Corps sniper.

As I predicted on another thread, the Vietnam records will be surpassed by dozens of today's Marine snipers (if this BS drags out that long, which it probably won't).

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

And how exactly have the killers come to be in a position to demand anything?

[Objective Reality]

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

Or what, exactly? You'll come charging through our killzones full speed and standing tall? I'd love to see it. More likely you'll just strap more plastique to your toddlers, but you were going to be doing that anyway.

I'm liking this story even more than I do the ones about the Spectre gunships.
