    A soldier's quote for the day.

    On December 9, 2005, CNN covered an interview of a US Special Forces
    soldier, a member of an elite sniper team. A Reuter's reporter trying
    to milk the interview for all it was worth asked the young soldier in
    a
    less than respectful tone, in an effort to make him feel guilty, "What
    do you feel, if anything, when you shoot an Al Quaeda freedom fighter
    from such a long distance?" The young soldier shrugged his shoulders
    and replied. "RECOIL" & turned and walked away.

    Wow. What a response. I LOVE IT.

    Snipers have a very unique job. They have to put forth so much concentration, planning, and patience. Defintely something I respect.

    Speaking from experience, I have been involved in a shooting through my Law Enforcement capacity. Quite honestly, I do not remember feeling recoil....I do not even remember hearing the shot. It just- happened- very quickly. And it was a good thing that it did. It had to.

    Anyway. That is the difference between a reactionary shooting, and a planned, detail-oriented sniper shooting. Those snipers are highly trained and have a job that most could not do. They actually have to study their target and think about it before firing.

    I am very proud of our soldiers, and honor them in all their efforts. Especially the snipers that "reach out and touch someone" for my freedom.
    Good post, Louis.

    Yes...I agree DAMN liberal media! I bet 100% if you asked all of the returning vetrans what was really going on they would say something to the effect of "I would do it again". Its too bad our media demoralizes them, they go over and risk there lives and the fricken far lefters slam on them and completley take away the sense of accomplishement they rightfully deserve!

    And even if you are a veteran reading this and think Im out of it, I still have the balls to "thank you".

    I mean what the hell. some of you guys and girls sign up for this...you have to remember it is not just a free ride through college. You are ALSO signing up to defend our country and its interest(s)!! I am not trying to sound mean to who didnt make it back or theie families, but for every action (like signing up) there is a consequence.
