This is like 5 days old but worth posting.

WARNING: While it isn't graphic some people might find it disturbing.

The rest of the story. They did shoot back and hit the sniper. THEN went over and after cuffing him he gave medical care to the sniper that just tried to kill him.

But one thing that this video does show, is that the body armor that we carry over here, (Soldiers and Civilians alike, I am here as a contractor) WORKS!!! Yes he is lucky and they should have let the soldier shoot that bitch ***.....

Our stupid rules have made fools out of us in Korea, Vietnam, and these two recent wars. We have done well in all the above wars, but we can do better. If you want to fight an Easterner you have to fight him in the manner he fights you. We better learn our lesson before we take on China.

THe one guy says shall I put the gear away.

THe soldier was at approximately 75 meters from the sniper when he shot.

I agree. I'm no monster, but my gut instinct wouldn't allow me to do that. I have a one strike rule when it comes to bodily harming me. Which is why they're there and I'm not.

Also, the guy is lucky, looks like the sniper was aiming for the heart and would have hit there too....i'm glad he didn't aim for his head.
