    And why is that? Seems like the job of a sniper in the military should be the same with any military in the world, no? Granted, the US has the most superior military AND snipers, but I don't think that matters in the video, as facts are facts.

    Its just the way the show is presented/edited, almost gives a sense of weapon quasi-pornography, which just seems very American.

    Like if i had to imagine a fake American TV program about a gun, the OP would be it, complete with countless pan shots of the weapon, slow-mo firing, graphical-gore representation and hi-budget dramatisation of the death it can bestow in multi-angle replays in a video game-esque style etc etc.

    Maybe so, but what was described in that video is a real life situation, and I'm sure a little blood and mention of "pink mist" is WAY less gory than things appeared on scene. Hell, I've seen many movies more dramatic and more filled with blood than this. I'd say this one, with a little blood spray, was tamed down a bit in fact so as not to be so gory.

    With that said, I think they should give better representations, maybe let us see actual footage and much more gore of these vermin scum getting blown to pieces and shredded up by ammunition! Maybe, just maybe, one or 2 of these scumbags will think twice about getting into the life of terror and being dumb enough to think their simplistic ways can match might with the US military.

    I don't really think you get what i mean, i guess it's just a cultural thing, but as an outsider to program is very American.

    you mean 'modern age technology'? Yeah, at least so far, the US leads at that, without question. 2 years from now, Britain may be in the lead. Unlikely, but possible. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

    Maybe I don't then. I thought the video was VERY realistic as to the operation and they kind of laid off the gore a bit for the audience. Like I said, had it been live footage, it would have been 10x worse. Maybe I'm jaded by seeing the greatest military in the world so often!

    I'm thinking Noir thinks we should only use weapons that the opposition has, to make it a 'fair' fight. Screw that.

    Not really anything to do with technology, just the production/presentation style and such...

    Like a few months ago i saw a US program about food, and the idea was that this guy went to a load of eateries, and had the most disguising food imaginable, like everything thing was excessive, so a Sub Sandwich would be three foot long, have 12 different kinds of meat on it, 3 different kinds of cheese (each one with 25 slices) etc etc, and the whole time the cameras panning over it, and the presenter is describing it as some sort of sex-goddess being made manifest before his eyes as the "chef" litterally threw slice after slice of cheese on this "sandwich"

    Again. the food program was undeniably American, with the common theme to the OP program of fetishizing the subject.

    Kathianne. You may be right about that. But another way to look at it would be...pleasing those who think TALK, and APPEASEMENT are far more effective tools. While the other side sticks to SHARP OBJECTS used to separate heads from the body.
