Re: sas
No migrane tablet but no doubt some smart lawyer will be taking the sniper to couirt for not firing a warning shot first.
Quite amazing what those guys can do and how the guns they use have progressed from the days of the musket.

Re: sas
The only ones I have heard as being in a state of war is France. When their citizens were massacred in Paris. Every one else seems to just go ahead and throw their lot in where they think it will do the most good against any faction they think are the bad guys. When Pearl Harbour was bombed it was considered against all the Rules of War and the Geneva Convention. During the Korean War it was called a police action by the Government at the time. During the Vietnam war it was described as giving advice to the ruling government of the day. Where all these looneys of the human rights brigade get their arguments from I don't know as everyone is inconsistent. Terrorism is Terrorism and a terrorist should have absolutely no human rights whatsoever, he lives by terror and should die scared witless in place of a better word. There is no place for a soldier fighting in the uniform of his country and under its flag should be frightened of pulling the trigger and wasting garbage. This is a soldiers job to do, take out the enemy by fair means or foul. Anyone who advocates fair play in such a war as is being fought in the middle east, belongs in cloud cuckoo land. In an ideal situation there would be no western troops involved, and let them sort out their own problems as they have always done, What western leaders got their people involved in such should be having nightmares, but wouldn't mind betting they sleep like babies.

Re: sas
Hi Cappy.
That gun the SAS use was used in the war in Afghanistan, I read a report that a sniper killed two men from two miles away, the one bullet went through two heads. The only thing that worries me is that if the Russians are not told about the SAS being in Syria, those poor sods could be at the end of a large bomb drop.
