Katie Couric, while interviewing a Marine sniper, asked: 'What do you feel when you shoot a terrorist?'

The Marine shrugged and replied, 'A slight recoil.'

 

Lol!!!

 

Thats awesome!

 

About the attitude you have to develop to survive that type environment. That's a really tough time over there for our frontline service members.

 

 

i like it

 

Good Answer Marine!

 

+1

The deserved answer for a stupid question...

Though, I'm sure many pacifists would label that as foolhardy and brainwashed thinking.

I've been reading that for years on different forums. Still a badass quote though!

 

Perfect response IMHO

 

The version I got was with a picture of a sniper in Iraq as he was taking aim. Brought back memories .... not necessarily pleasant ones, but, ones which made me proud we have guys in the sandbox protecting our freedoms.

 

I have a few friends in the marine's aren't over there but I show them the respect and courtesy they deserve for protecting us just like JEB99TA said. Those guys deserve so much more than what they get as far as respect goes.

 

Thats just like in the movie Full Metal Jacket.. The main character asks the guy shooting the machine gun in the helicopter "How do you shoot women and children?" Pilot answer "Easy... just don't lead them as much as the men!" HAHAHAHAHA that is probably my favorite part of the movie.

 

I'm in

 

Thank you

 

Absolutely thank all the men and women who put there *** on the line for us to be able to live in this country. Daily im friends with/ talk to guys from Korean war/ Vietnam/gulf/ Afghanistan. And there some ove my best friend's. Thank you for your service, and if I ever run into you the beer is on me...
