The joke being that they both use rape as an example frequently in their writings, it never is actually comparable to rape. They argue often against each other's ideas and quite often use rape as a tool for arguement.

It was a joke, I chuckled.

No I don't. I just make fun of him for comparing everything to rape. It's not my style at all to compare anything to rape unless it's surprise sex.

His record, 2500 yard kill was with an open sight ma-duce .50. With handles and no butt stock. It was on a mount. No one has ever done that again.

The reason he kept going back is because he was addicted to it dude. He was addicted to the entire process, to the simple life that exists overseas. 'Bad guys v. good guys,' you get caught up in it. Aside from his good intentions he was addicted.

Most operators are greasy slimy mother fuckers I wouldn't let my future children near, but they are efficient soldiers and fully mission oriented. They are hunters, they hunt people for fun, they play hard and fast.

Let's just point this out, for anyone who has not hunted humans, it's the rush of a lifetime. I have rarely felt more excited and alive then a firefight. Dark but true.

Perhaps I am just trying to remind everyone that war is fucked for everybody involved. He got lots of thanks for his help, give him a thank you but I don't think placing anyone on a pedestal due to war service is anything but propaganda.

You watch the deployment Documentaries and you know that is true. These corn fed, killers actually like combat. The killing is just part of the job.

I just saw one called Armadillo. A Danish Rife Company, out to the 'Stan. Only there for 6 months but these guys were so gunge ho, they almost got their Commanders up on Charges before the Hague.

I loved the way they settled that one. So typical.

I saw one about a US Marine unit, same thing. These guys were crazed on quiet adrenaline. They would take these 500 meter Javelin shots and nail them. The guys setting up the mortar position had no idea.

Then Restepo is a lot darker, since they were way up and could not do a lot of patrolling and got hit a lot. Still they were all just sitting around bitching, good naturally, as if it was the Dawn of Time, again, waiting to go slay the hill tribes.

I think he used a bolt action Winchester model 70 in caliber .30-06 which is generally considered a sporting/hunting rifle. Topped with a Unertl 8X scope. That old scope is just terrible compared to today's optics.

I have a world war 1 issue .30-06 and it kicks like a mule.

I think of Chris Kyle as one Bad as- Mother -Fu--er that should have been able to live the rest of his life out with family in Texas. If there is a thing of top ten soldier list in American history? He would be on ! Period.....

Well, if the world runs to America away from their own Country, There must be something attractive,...No ?
Being attractive is a small part of being awesome.

Is someone stuck in a Country, Would they like to leave and start a new life ? Don`t go to China, or Africa or the Middle East, They aren`t awesome, they can`t even attract flies....
