Subject: Sensitive Special Forces Sniper December 9, 2005 (CNN)

While interviewing an anonymous US Special Forces soldier on his sniper
skills, a Reuters News agent asked the soldier what he felt when
shooting members of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The soldier shrugged and
replied, "Recoil."

:crackup:

Truth or legend, there's also the one about the legendary Finish sniper during WWII that when asked if he found it hard to shoot/snipe the enemy he said, 'of course... they zig and zag trying to get away from you'.

Funny thing about Snopes is, I absolutely GUARANTEE you that at some point during the last two months since this story came out, a sniper has said that 'all I feel is recoil' to his spotter or other sniper buddies after having read the email.

Sort of fiction dictating and creating fact.

The job that has to be done in such circumstances is hardly one for callous joking. The thread and it's progress is offensive. Thread closed.
