And this is why every sniper and his drugged out drunken comrades my s.lut sister in law has dragged home is a pathetic waste case.

Well, a good friend of mine was a sniper. My wife doesn't care for him, my kids respect him, one likes him, one doesn't. What he did made him who he is. What they do f*cks up the psyche. I have a lot of experience with psychology, applied not taught. My buddy is very guarded about his past to others, but is quite open to me. Outwardly he is bombastic, pompas, demanding, and a bit of an ass. That is a coping device, inside he is a train wreck. I have spoken to him at length and to put it all here would be publishing a Masters Thesis. Each person in such a situatuation has their own demons, depending on what was demanded of them. My buddy's demons dealt with him being given a specific target and having to take it out at a great distance without that person having a defense. He knew they were bad people, the Queen told him so, they were Irish Republicans, oh wait... They were bad for whom? But these are questions that come after the fog of war has lifted. These weren't questions I asked, but he asked rhetorically. Being a professional hit man loses its lustre no matter who your employer is. You have to give these guys a break, they do what is demanded of them at the time, and will question what they did far more than you will afterward, and probably quaff quite a bit of ale, or other things, so doing.

I don't blame them for ending up that way. I do however blame those who cheer them on like they are on a sports team which 9 times out of 10 turns out to be the penny pinching ****wads who consistantly whine about having to pay for the cost of turning a trained killer back into a human being again.

I've never seen a ribbon campaign for the shattered minds our blood lust creates. Have you? :canada:

People love high tech gladiator sports. I bet if they had a reality show following real snipers around actually blowing people's heads off it would be "number one with a bullet" after the first episode.

It is technically possible to stimulate the nervous system to feel the pain you see on TV or video game. Do you think that attachment for Wii would sell as well as the Wii Fit?

Do you have any idea how hard I laugh when I see newscasters showing Middle eastern kids giving soldiers the "thumbs up".

A thumb's up to them is the same as giving the bird here.

LMFAO.... hang a yellow ribbon on that one.

Ahhh right on. Chanting and clapping and sing as a rite. Perhaps it's the singing, clapping and chanting that has the positive effect rather than the book that they hold but can't read.

Go team go.
