Some "insurgent" got dusted off of a rooftop by a Barrett. Through my Bradley thermals it was pretty gruesome looking. The 10th mountain sniper plugged him at a good 1200 meters. Just thought you guys would enjoy that.

I've tried taking pics though the thermals several times, because that stuff is an every day occurance here in Sadr City. They just dont come out right. Plus, the Army sort of frowns on that stuff. Sorry.

Can you hook a camera up to your thermal? That'd be some 'killer" footage.

May be inappropriate, but my thought was:  Now you're going to have to go kill his whole family, too.  Sure as hell they'll be out for blood when they see the gruesome mess that was their loved one.  Good luck over there, I guess.

There are some folks who cannot help but eat foot all day.  Doesn't bother me in the least that his family takes offense.  Besides, most of these idiots do not use their own homes to fire from.  They're not from around Sadr City, probably not Iraqi's, but Iranian and Saudi, etc.

Well then what do you think they should have done? The guy was a threat to our troops I repeat our troops.    You dont kill him, he will kill our guys you do kill him and it makes his family mad..

Which one would you chose?
