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.'

The deserved answer for a stupid question...

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

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.
