Sniper Humor

I liked this paragraph:

December 9, 2005 (CNN) While interviewing an anonymous US Special Forces soldier, a Reuters News agent asked the soldier what he felt when sniping members of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The soldier shrugged and replied, "Recoil."

(h/t Cheat-Seeking Missiles)

It reminds me of a question to a door gunner in my favorite Viet Nam book, The Short-Timers:

Q: How can you shoot women and children?

A: You just don't lead 'em as much.

In my imagination, Viet Nam was a way harsher war.
