Poll: Sniper

[spectrenihlus]

Yes and I would go home and sleep like a baby.

 

[spectrenihlus]

I would do my damnedest to take him Alive, with minimal harm done to him. If not taking the shot meant a capture opportunity in the future I would not take the shot.

If there was an immediate and pressing need to be lethal I would do so, but I would attempt to make it as clean, efficient and as suffering-free as I could.

I have no intention of becoming a monster whilst trying to fight them. It is a shame the same cannot be said for a good portion of the people in this thread.

Fastest way to kill a monster is to be monster. That is how you win wars by being the most brutal son of a ***** not in measured violence. This was how the Civil War was finally won and this was how WW2 was won and guess what in the end it saved lives on both sides.

Quoting out of context just to get it out of context so you can twist it to mean what you mean doesn't mean you made a valid point.

There was no true context for that quote to begin with. When something like that is said, even with a topic like this, it's still not valid in said discussion.

 

[WorldCritic]

I would take the shot. He's been the master of hide and seek for too long!

 

[spectrenihlus]

Also the obama osama mix ups are not unique to Fox news

Everyone is doing it and frankly it makes me giggle like a schoolgirl.

American will always refer to citizens of the United States first and foremost, so your South American comment is ignorant and only intended to grief the person you quoted.

Isn't it more ignorant to say that American first and foremost refers to a U.S. citizen? Because claiming that means that you are being ignorant to the 24 countries in the American Continents.

Second of all show me the official guideline to what American mean first and foremost. And please don't present one that was pulled out of your ass.

The best way to win a war is to dehumanize your enemy. Our soldiers can not do what they need to do if they are constantly reminded that the people they are shooting have family's

 

[babinro]

I could never see myself murdering another person...so no.

 

[Jark212]

Yup, I could use the $25 million bounty...

 

[ReaperzXIII]

In that situation I'm a soldier, soldiers kill, whether you want to spin that as protecting an ideal or whatever, point is they kill. I would ask permission first though, don't want an international backlash.

I like to refer to the Assassin's creed quote in situations like this: "Nothing is true, everything is permitted, we work in the dark to serve the light"

 

[SodaDew]

Wow I REALLY miss read I through you said Obama so I voted no out of fear the FBI was reading it xD. But after reading, yes.. I would have blasted his godforsaken brains allover!

It is country before continent. People from France are French before they are European, Citizens of Brazil are Brazilian before they are South American, and citizens of the US are American Before they are North American.

From Dictionary.com
1. of or pertaining to the United States of America or its inhabitants: an American citizen.
2. of or pertaining to North or South America; of the Western Hemisphere: the American continents.

Notice definition 1 states "or it's inhabitants" and definition 2 does not

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

In a heartbeat.

...Or rather, in between heartbeats, just like the snipers. If I had orders not to...maybe. If I didn't have orders not to, I'd take the shot. What would they do to me if I shot him against orders anyway? Dishonorably discharge the man that just popped the lead terrorists head like an over ripe tomato? I doubt it.

I would absolutely take the shot if at all possible. I'd probably even yell, "BOOM, HEADSHOT!"

 

[KaiRai]

What kind of question is that. He was wanted dead or alive.

My response would be "Fuck you, I just saved us years of work. Give me a raise you ungrateful bastards"

Probably wouldn't be in the military long after reading that sentence through.

Snip

Okay, so you got me there. But does that mean that I am personally not allowed to use the second one first and foremost. And does that mean that just because that it has been used for some number of years now that it can't be changed? No, and I am not one to call yanks Americans. I rather call yanks U.S. Citizens or Yanks.
