Thanks for the link Stormbringer, I appreciate it as I haven't been able to find anyone local who carries SOF.

I get mine at Chapters.

Funny, since they publish it in your state.

"The Canuck snipers were in their element. They continued their long-range shooting with their McMillan Brothers .50-cal. Tactical Anti-Materiel Sniper Rifle System."

Aside from the scope depicted being a Nightforce, this is what they look like.

Shooting them in for the Canucks was a wee bit painful though. There were three of us sitting next to each other at the range, and me being the FNG [rolleyes], I got to sit in the middle, so I got the gasblast from both guns beside me. Yeah, I was a bit punch drunk after that one.  [puke]

skullworks, do you work at McMillan?

I love this line...

"“As soon as we got rid of one guy, another would come up, and another one.”



I just have to laugh....

Sounds like a gopher hunt up here!

Is "canuck" considered an insulting term for a Canadian?

Yeah, ain't it though?

I'll be taking in a funshow this weekend in a larger, neighboring city and I'll pick up a copy then. Guess I'll have to go back next month for part 2. awww shucks. [:D]

nope....


We are far to easy going for that.
But thanks for being considerate.

Cool, bruddah.

Nope, not any more. I keep in touch with them though. I went back to school.

"...in Afghanistan in the first weeks of March, “taking out” machine-gun nests and mortar positions at long range."

Taking out? I know I certain Canuck Artillery Officer that I hope doesn't read this article. He absolutely hated that expression - would always ask us why we were so obsessed with taking the enemy on a date!

He would be so embarrassed for his country if he read this!

He used to even stuff our own doctrine down outr throats,

"Units undertake offensive operations to destroy the enemy and his will to fight; to seize terrain; to learn enemy strength and disposition; or to deceive, divert, or fix the enemy."(FM 7-8, Chapt. 1-7) Where in that does sentence does it mention "taking out?" he would ask.
