Okay. Just don't go off in a huff.

[Clifford The Big Red Dog]

"We are all Scottish today!!!"

One shot, one kill.The beauty was that the guy knew what hit him and had a few seconds to think about it.

[caver]

I've never heard the term "slotted". Is that a British term or a sniper's term?

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

"Also on Sunday, a roadside bomb ripped through a vehicle in eastern Afghanistan, killing a woman, her two newborn babies and the children's grandmother....It was not immediately clear why the vehicle was targeted."

It is immediately clear to me. They are a bunch of cowardly wimps who get mowed down by the dozens when they go up against real men. So they target women and children.

Fear is their only true weapon. Disarm them by unapologetically killing any and all Mulsim militants.

Bravo! 1000 meters is some f$%^ing shot!

[moonman]

Melvin Purvis ping.

[newcthem]

Sure is more "humane" than sending them to Gitmo...........Ain't it?

Clarification: Carlos was nearly burned to death in a track while rescuing seven others from it, and was awarded a Silver Star (the USA's third highest honor).

[r9etb]

Nah. I looked into moving back a few years ago. Too crowded and expensive.

Betcha the line at Klintoon's will be longer....;^)

[jazusamo]

You are correct and I should not have omitted that.

[bert]

Publishing his name and this bravado is a serious mistake.

He can be marked for death. Now, in ten years, doesn't matter to the Taliban.

[buck61]

General Patton. Gentlemen, you had better kill these sonsabitches, because if you don't, they sure as hell will kill you!!

[ASOC]

Verb. Hurt, injure, stab, shoot. E.g."I slotted that bastard last year, and he spent 3 weeks in hospital." [Mainly Army use]

Better than a slap and a tickle 'eh?

[doorgunner69]

BRASS - Breath, Relax, Aim, Squeeze

You left out "slack" before "squeeze".

But I am sure I'll see that corrected already further down the thread. 8o)

Buy the young feller a box of ceegars and let him earn 'em one at a time. Hell, I'll buy him a case.

[caver]

Cool, I learn new words all the time, especially on FR.
