"Katy Couric: "What did you feel when you shot that Iraqui (terrorist) sniper?"

American Marine sniper: "Recoil"




"While interviewing an anonymous US Special Forces soldier on his sniper skills, a Reuters News agent asked the soldier what he felt when shooting members of al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The soldier shrugged and replied, 'Recoil.'"

Yeah, you're right, I shudda checked Snopes like I usually do and tell my friends to do when they send me lots of stories by email.

But the recoil story sounds good and I suppose represents a point of view or philosophical feeling about the war on Islamofascist terrorism. It's a GOOD urban legend. Or at least one I would like to believe.

Be a good line in a movie.
