Wow, snipers are dangerous and make troops nervous! I hadn't thought of that!

Hey, islammymamma pigs....

If those snipers are gay, you could have an Oscar contender...

“In the time we walk on foot, we have the idea in our heads that it is a real threat to us.”

Now there's a sentence that appears 'cut and pasted' and taken out of context...

Juba, Juba, Juba. It seems like someone over there (or here, i.e media) is trying darn hard to paint this Juba dude into being a Vasily Zaitsev. He is not!

In fact the only thing truly shocking about this character is that he is STILL ALIVE!

He is no Vasily, and doesn't even come close.

Any link to the actual clip?

...expressing the fear of snipers and the deadliness of their accuracy.

NOT!

Those with Druganovs generally weren't Iraqi and were preety good. However, most 'snipers' were just hidden gunmen taking quick shots from hidden places.

In one place we used to sit on the berms trying to find them find us. Obviously we weren't intimidated by their 'legendary' prowess.

Juba was the name of a man who led the Numidians against the Romans. He had some initial success, and then the Romans sent down Marius and Sulla to deal with him.

Let me express what happened then with a demonstration of what happens when you put an egg on the pavement, and have an elephant step on it.

Scrunch.

I saw a DOD RFP a couple of weeks ago for an accoustic sniper locator to be mounted on a UAV. I guess it must be for locating these type.

That having been said, from what I saw of the video, this Juba prefers to strike with a single shot in busy areas of mixed perdestrian and vehicular traffic. As the victims fellow soldiers attention is initially directed to them and pedestrians begin to scatter, this Juba makes his egress from the area.

I don't think this Juba will last much longer.

Probably a composite of a bunch of different shooters. Probably shooting from a van like the ones our guys caught. Shooters like the DC MUSLIM shooters.

Hope they die soon and slow.
