Out of curiosity, you wouldn't happen to know (as a rough guesstimate) what the average muzzle velocity is of a standard sniper rifle?

I wonder if some of those guys were at the Wilson matches last October. I might have met some of them.

While Canadians soldiers have killed people during peacekeeping missions, the last time the country's military used lethal force in combat was in 1953.

Now tell me, boys, I know it's been a long time...but don't it feel good?

You've tasted the kill.............knocking down the bad guys who wish you harm. There's no going back.

Glad to have you on OUR side, Canada.

Operation Harpoon is commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Pat Stogran of the Canadian Forces. He is leading 500 soldiers from the Edmonton-based Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, and about 100 U.S. troops from the 10th Mountain Division.

I'm a little surprised that no one's commented on this yet.

"I'm proud of the snipers and the important role they provided in giving cover to the other soldiers moving in, and I'm proud of the mission led by Canadians."

Me too, and I'm not Canadian.....Way to go!

They are experts in camouflage and concealment, and can pick off human prey with rifles from as far away as 900 metres, or the length of nine football fields.

That's the only way to do it. Hoorah, somebody finally has it right.

"Canada's snipers -- there are only a few dozen -- learn their trade at the Combat Training Centre at CFB Gagetown in New Brunswick. (Globe & Mail)

Just more of an admission about why Canada cannot be taken seriously as a nation.

Canuckistan is affluent and all that - but its land military doesn't add up to what you'd find in the 82nd Airborne down here at Ft. Bragg alone.

The Taliban should have learned from history what the devil's brigade did to the Germans.
