Cool vid German sniper training

He must not have had one hell of a conscious (sp?) knowing he waxed 702 people.... but then again, bomber crews must have though the same thing...

 

A little more info to quote Kai .

"Simo used to check the place for sniping the previous evening, and made from snow an obstacle for the enemy not to see him.Sometimes he would put water on the snow so that snow would not rise as he fired and reveal him.

In the morning he would eat a lot so he could stay on guard for along time if necessary. In his pockets he put dry food and sugar to keep up his level of conciousness and blood sugar level.

He would take some 50-60 bullets. Also a few hand granades."

They must have been gutted to be beaten by them then...

 

Be careful, your bias and ignorance is showing. Of course you can back up your statements? Right? Because thats what you "Think" does make it fact.

 

Conscience does not apply here. You are shooting at the 'hated enemy', 'subhumans', whatever your flavour is, in an environment where you are likely to be shot back at.

 

Agreed.

 

Amon posted something insipid here and therefore, it has been removed.

 

So quite literally they're untermensch?

 

Never said that, they are vital to the human race.

 

Enough said. Moderators, how useful is this thread?

 

They were very vital and efficient at killing Nazis thats for sure. And they are part of the human race. Not as you statement implies.

 

This thread is...bad.


AmonMouser, women are not here just to breed soldiers. Anybody with a brain knows that.

 

Have you ever been in combat???? thats the sort of comment a person who has not seen combat tends to say. My father who served in the Italy as a partisan hated the Germans and yet he felt guilty of killing a man.

 

Flam engaged in a bit of false bravado here and >poof<, his post disappeared.

 

Another banal post was here.

 

sry grandpa

 

No, have you? I suppose by the Pucara in your signature you did in the Falkland Islands.

I find your ad hominem out of place in this forum. This thread is way over it's usefulness.

 

My father was a pucara brit copter killer pilot and felt pretty much the same as grandad.

 

its and argument ad hominem not a fallacy ad hominem

 

Za of course he has!! As an 18 year he has seen lots. But he has to stop when his game controller makes his thumbs hurt LOL.
