And what world do you live in? One that still has armies fight battles using lances and swords on horseback in suits of armor.


That would be awesome though...


The US would have the most badass horses ever. And titanium/carbon swords

Our enemies would have sticks and stones. I think it is a much more level playing field now then it was back then. The only thing our current enemies have now that American dont is a welcoming of death.

Just so I got this right, You shot your dad at a far off distance? If not then you didm't answer my question. My question was have you ever had to shoot and kill someone in a sniper situation, not if you've defended a poor defensles woman. And just so you know, when i joined the U.S. Marine Corps, there was no wars going on so i did not sign up to fight in iraq or afganistan. We go where we are told and we do what we are lawfully ordered to do. I joined to serve my country. I also don't agree with the wars nor did I ever kill innocent people, I never killed women or children so no, i am not in the habit of making bad decisions. Our Military snipers have the advantage to clearly identify targets(in most cases) and very seldom do innocent people die at the hands of a well trained sniper.

Also Where in my post did I say that our country is under attack? Even though we are by those who reside within our government,(if you want my personal opinion.)

And what does you having over 25 years of occultist experience have to do with what a sniper thinks or does? Stroking your own ego are we?

So again I ask you, have you ever served in the military in combat or peacetime?

Your mindset renders you irrelevant to the conversation.As does the lack of your lack of military knowledge,by your description, barring further details, you are the same as so many others I guess you can save it for your shrink.A sniper serves a MILITARY function,he didn't ask about your socio-political opinion.
Killing is easy living with it can be fatal in any circumstance.But when you are a warrior in a fight you are relegated to the technical aspect of fighting only,your feelings are suppressed so you ,or others,don't die.
