Default Not for the faint of heart

This was forwarded to me.
A suicide bomber met a US snipper and his 50 cal.

Thumbs up

Now THAT'S "reaching out and touching someone!"

Good to hear about "one for our side." In our conventional medias here, the only casualties that we hear about is ours. To listen to them, you'd think that we only take casualties and don't inflict them. Really get tired of it.

Thanks, Ron. If anyone is offended by it......oh, well. No one said war was pretty, and you warned them.

Sorry to say this but the photo of the sniper was not taken in Iraq. Anyone who is observant can figure out why it isn't Iraq. And that fact also makes me think that the terrorist pic is bogus too. Although I would like nothing more then it to be real.

Default Bill.....

Even though seeing a terrorist's or baby killer's brains blown-out ANYWHERE just suits me fine,...what makes you say that such didn't take place in Iraq? Just curious, since apparently not very: "Observant".

Don't they have sneakers or macadam in Iraq?? Are these clues?
I know they have snipers and 50s in Iraq, and that the photo displays quite well what a 50 cal. round can do to ones anatomy.

Regardless, good riddance to one such scum, and the more displays of such pieces of: "Expert" artwork...THE MERRIER!!!
Everytime such is repeated, that's just one less non-combattant: "Men, women, and children (babies also) infidel" targetter and murderer,...to contend with. BRAVO!!!

There are so many reasons the first picture is not right it's hard to tell were to start but here goes lol:

1. KFOR (seen on the truck behind him) stands for "Kosovo Peace Implementation Force".
http://www.nato.int/kfor/kfor/about.htm

1. His camo is wrong.

2. If he just shot the guy he would have been out on patrol but his uniform is perfectly clean.

3. The vehicles camo is wrong.

4. He is wearing shiny carabiner clips, a definite no-no for a sniper.

5. The terrain is completely wrong for Iraq.

6. Wouldn't his rifle be loaded? I don't see a clip but that could be me.

There are a few more minor things but suffice it to say this guy did not just pop a bad guy while patrolling in Iraq.



The second picture I have no idea on but it looks fake for a couple reasons.

1. His eyeballs are still intact. I would think from the force of such an impact his eyeballs would have most likely exploded.

2. His skin tone is that of a white guy making the picture look staged then touched up in photoshop.

3. The impact ballistics just don't look right.

4. The spray pattern does not look right.

5. Blowing the picture up yields quite a bit of pixelation in the head region compared to many relatively smooth areas around the head and rest of the body.



But hey, it's the thought that counts

Default David...

Maybe Ron didn't show photos in the right sequence, or even close in time and place of such a garbage disposal?

Maybe The Sniper thought that no one would recognize him if he kept his Gilly Outfit on,...and didn't get all scrubbed-up and squeeky clean (both for himself and equipment) prior to his being photographed in his trophy shot stance?

Maybe the photo was one of his best shots, prior taken in Bosnia?
Hey,...who knows?

On that forensic stuff you've got me. I've never seen the results of a 50 caliber head shot before. In fact, I've never even seen such on any of my favorite TV Shows like: "CSI Miami" and "NYPD Blue".

Still and whatever,...I think the FINAL results of shot were great.
