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.
