But that guy who killed someone in a store is going to court, and his victim wasn't even a revolutionary.


What a world !

What a world !

You can't murder another soldier on the battlefield...

Can if he's surrendered...

Obviously, but in this instance the sniper killed two men involved in a firefight.

News of Harrison's success comes amid concern over a rival insurgent sharpshooter who in a five-month spree has killed up to seven British soldiers, including a sniper, in and around the Taliban stronghold of Sangin.

Anyone seen Enemy at the Gates?

apparently they sent a squad of SAS in and gave the guy a good thrashing after he killed another sniper

This man's "victims" were firing a heavy machine gun onto Afghan soldiers and his own troop commander. It's called "War", and comparing his actions to that of a common murderer shooting unarmed civilians is pure ignorance.

EDIT: out of curiosity, I checked your recent posts and found out the incident you were referring to involved the shooting of an armed robber fleeing from a store. You should really link to these things instead of assuming people know what you're talking about.

A good thrashing? Now all I can imagine is SAS troops chasing a guy through the desert with riding crops and knee-high leather boots. Not an overly pleasant image.

 

[Sir.Talbot]

Yeah, but did he carry a Sword and Bow into a gun heavy war?
didn't think so...

Yeah Jack Churchill was stupendously pro-active. Here is another more colourful article:

I was reading his quotes in my head with a badass, Price-like accent.

Then I read he was from Gloucestershire.

...Could have been worse...could have been Norfolk or Liverpool

Or even worse...Newcastle...

yep I think that's pretty much how it was done

Seeing Brits argue about accents in this thread is kinda funny. I mean, obviously they don't have accents to each other, but being an American means its like watching a bunch of people with accents argue about not having accents.

Ah well, I'm sure I sounded really odd while I was in London.

Oh right, OT: Man that's fucking badass. I wish I could do that.

 

[Aesir23]

Didn't Canada used to hold that record? Curse you! Stop stealing our glory! And here I thought you liked us because we didn't have to gain independence by shooting your citizens. (Though technically we're still a commonwealth country.)

Listen a to geordie speaking then listen to someone from liverpool. There is a massive difference. It's amazing how many accent this country has considering its size. You only have to drive 45 minutes down the motorway to encounter a new one.

 

[Leftyrem]

Hmmm... very interesting...
Still, it was killing another human being...
Will there ever be a day when humans stop fighting humans, and fight something else, united? >.>
Anyway, good for him, setting a new record.

really doubt it. over a mile away DAAAAAAMN

 

[ayahtzeefan]

yes but you forget: america had carlos hathcock

Shhhh, we can both pretend that Britian's and Canada's achievments are one in the same, anything Britian achieves, you can claim awesome points and vice versa.

Whoo go Britanada! Best 2 snipers in the world!

I still say the most awesome sniper was the guy in WW2 who fought off the Russians, forget his name. Used iron sights and racked up over 700 kills.

His name is Simon Häyhä, a.k.a. "The White Death", a Finnish super-badass. He took out entire squadrons of russians by himself and survived getting shot in the face. IN THE FACE.

Vasilij Zajtsev

Wait, that guy was Russian!
I am fairly positive he meant Simo Hayha, since it seems illogical for a sowjet sniper to fight off Russians. But he was a good one though (not to mention his face reminds me of that guy from Scrubs... you know, the one with hypochondria).

Yes, sorry, I didn't read this correctly ;p
