a VERY good start would be for assasins--Snypers to NOT write books glorifying themselves.
And when they get whats coming to them---DONT call them hero's and DEFINATELY dont put on a ridiculous funeral burying them in hallowed places with some actual ones.

You have a problem with snipers? Why is that? I only have a problem with enemy snipers.

you have to be ****ing kidding me......

How un-tEXAN of me not to just keep my mouth shut!

A sniper is nothing more than extremely effective artillery. You gotta problem with artillery, too?

Thats a point of view--Not mine.
read the ones book thats being commented about.
A different point of view is a sniper is a coward hiding from his vantage--telling himself the targets are not even humam--just "ragheads" that make no difference .
oh -also they automatically lie about the targets carrying explosives when the dont know one way or the other, so just kill em all-as far as the "hero" is concerned.

A sniper is someone who shot a very high score at the rifle range in boot camp.
He is selected for sniper training. He cannot say 'I do not wish to be a coward'.

He cannot say anything but "Yes Sir'
he was a yes man all the time he was in the military, but afterwards--glorifying himself FOR FAME AND PROFIT.

This is a “yes man” who was so callous to the effects of his violence that he intentionally took a veteran with combat PTSD to a shooting range as a form of therapy.

So you have allowed yourself to focus on the acts of ONE sniper.

He's the one that went on tour, pulling ridiculous publicity stunts to plug his book about killing people legally -in a war zone.

The imbecile that thought it a good idea to bury him next to some real heros' one of which was my ancestor (a guy named Travis), and his side kick sara - thats nothing more than party posturing---NOTHING MORE. Thats as clear an example od the divide that runs right down the middle of this forum, the ignorant sheep mobs, and the uh--somewhat enlightened.

You are so wrong that the word, "wrong" is wholly inadequate to the occasion.

Well, gee it is not a Sporting contest or a Duel.
Take the Marine Sniper Carlos Hathcock (he called the people He shot Hamburgers); He was either by Himself or with one other Person; His Spotter crawling around out in the Bush in Enemy Territory. I think that takes a lot of courage.

I read a Book it the title was something like "The Last Time I Will Ever Tell the Truth" About a National Guard Soldier in Iraq. He used the same Raghead term.
They way He explained it after He and the other People in His Unit were there long enough they only cared about their own survival and did not care what happened to the Hoggie/Ragheads. He said some People would just get bored and randomly shoot at the Civilians.

I can't remember his name but in the Book Written by the Navy Seal Sniper He and his teammates also did things like weeks of House to House and Room Room clearing. When He did that He was not hiding behind anything and a vulnerable as anyone who was doing the same thing.

Except that they Shoot more accurately and have skills that help to keep them alive while doing their job why are Snipers any different from other Soldiers or Marines?

Unless a Sniper calls in Artillery, Air Support or Drones Snipers generally do not kill the Civilians that Artillery, Air Support or Drones do (collateral damage). How is that something Bad?

If there was no demand for a Sniper Book then no one would Publish it.
