    I think Noir feels the video was OVER dramatized for sensationalism, sorta like a Stallone action flick. Truth is though, this was no dramatization, just an inside peek as to what the Marines deal with an how a sniper from a mile away can make such a difference. Without the various angles and blood, it wouldn't feel realistic and the viewer may not understand the strength of a .50 caliber weapon and the type of ammo used.

    NOIR. Maybe we would understand you if you had any concept that differs American TV productions from Actual, Real Life, Wartime situations. Such as that shown in the video.

    TV programs just never seem to have the same effect when it comes to defending your's, or someone else's life.

    No REALITY TV program authorizes the use of FORCE to prevent the Killers from surviving. That's why we have a Military who isn't ACTING.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    While I can understand your enthusiasm for dispatching an enemy, turning a person into a pink mist is not exactly something I would "lol" about no matter who it is unless it was in a computer game.

    During the time around 2003, I saw some photos of an Iraqi that got hit in the head by the .50 Cal sniper rifle. I recall looking at the Barratt .50 cal when I bought the M-1 Garand. Anyway, I believe one could be had for about $3,500 at that gun shop brand new.

    The Iraqi got hit just about dead center on his head and it was split in half as if hit by a huge ax.

    M-1 Garand is a fine rifle but nothing beats the M-14 in my book, it has it all as a battle rifle. .

    That's you - but you DO realize that Hamas makes pink mist appear regularly, no? Do you condemn their laughing about it and their motto about loving death as much as Israel loves life?

    I have to check to see if I have the photos. I was issued a M-14 in Germany and never fired it. It was brand new when I got it and still new the day I left. I fired the M-14 a lot at Fort Ord in advanced inf training. I really liked that rifle.

    I was supposed to stay qualified with the M-14 in Germany but as a HQ/HQ company clerk, I could get out of anything. Also, I don't know where the range was in that part of Germany and did not want to be bothered with the hassle of going to the range. My unit was mostly administrative and I can't recall anything I prepared to get guys to the range. If there was to be using weapons on the range, I wouild think I wuuld have typed that up and posted it to the bulletin board. I did the guard duty and KP lists so I do recall those.

    By the way, I was just looking at the Barrett Site (I had spelled it wrong) and the company is in TN. They have videos on their site of the snipers shooting.

    I think the site is called Ogrish or something if you want to look at pictures of death all day. Whatever floats your boat....

    Hamas doesn't have good enough aim to make pink mist. And no, I would not support it if they did laugh about killing someone.

    Bombs have similar effects at times. I wonder if an when you will ever answer the question multiple people have asked of you, as to whether or not you support a terrorist organization, Hamas, or will you come out and condemn them?

    I neither support nor condemn them but I do lean towards support since someone has to do something about Israel's brutal subjugation of the Palestinians.

    While I abhor death in general, I tend to celebrate ridding evil people from the world.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    A jew hating terrorist supporter, what a shocker.
