I was wondering when we would start hearing about the work those snipers do.

I love our snipers. Get them deep in their dens...take them out!
It sucks to be an Iraqi target these days.

Rock on! It's about time the outstanding training and amazing toughness of these fighting men was seen by others.
Those dirty SOBs don't know how bad they're going to get smoked.

Black Watch again. These guys are awesome!

Iraqi snipers lying in wait for coalition forces in Baghdad remains one of the most terrifying aspects of this war. We can't bomb every habitat without killing every civilian.

If you watch closely, you will see snipers in almost every squad in Iraq. Just look for the bolt action rifle. I saw many so far in just news reports of soldiers walking.

Their snipers suck.
Their gear sucks, their optics suck, their rifles suck, their ammo suck, and they suck.
I'd put 1 Marine sniper against 20 of theirs.
Same for Airborne.

I was wondering when we would start hearing about the work those snipers do. I too was totally puzzled.
Not a whisper about this on any TV or cable channel.
This aspect of "war" is not PC, and I suppose officially this isn't happening.
These men have my deepest respect and admiration and my prayers.

If you have no idea of what a sniper goes through to be named a sniper, I'm not going to explain it to you. You can go find out the material & read it for yourself.

the long muzzles masked by more scraps of cloth, the better to prevent the glint of metal which would give their position away.
All US military sniper rifles are NON reflective and it is NOT necessary to cover the barrel or the scope with "dusty rags".
That part of the story is bogus...Unless it was the personal choice of the sniper to cover the scope and barrel.
