Poll: Sniper

[Yopaz]

You don't hurt AMERICANS without some serious s*** hitting the fan.

So you intend on going to South America and hurt anyone that commits a crime that involved them hurting someone else. Or hell, do you intend on doing it in the U.S.?

I was talking specifically on Osama, not about anyone in South America or in the U.S.

You obviously didn't read the part that I specifically quoted. Or you did and decided to completely ignore the point I was trying to make.

Quoting out of context just to get it out of context so you can twist it to mean what you mean doesn't mean you made a valid point.

 

[Souplex]

Shoot to wound. You can't imprison a corpse.

 

[IndianaJonny]

Snip...It's a badass quote but it's a false story.

Yes, EllEzDee reckons the credibility starts to fall away almost immediately on mention of a "marine sniper".

 

[Iconsting]

I like to think that I'd be above killing Osama, thinking that nothing I could do to him would be able to make what he did right, and that, by turning the other cheek, I would be showing the Muslim world a side of our nation that most of those people do not usually see: compassion.

However, I'm 90% sure that, if I had a gun in hand that would determine whether he lives or dies, I'd go through twenty mags mangling his corpse.

Wound to capture, or create a situation whereby he could be captured given the choice as with any hostile. Only as a last resort would I tend towards a kill shot.

That was an interesting read, thanks.

I would if i was a member of the army and it was a part of my mission.

American will always refer to citizens of the United States first and foremost, so your South American comment is ignorant and only intended to grief the person you quoted.

All I am saying is... DO you know the reward on that guys head? I will take the shot assuming I was skilled enough to, and collect the bounty... go go merc style.

[Marik Bentusi]

Well, if I signed up for it, it's probably too late for second thoughts NOW.

It's Fox News, the premier Republican news network. What did you expect?

But still, Epic Fail on Fox's part.

Look at the 'B' more closely, its clearly photoshopped.

 

[CaptainKoala]

As a red-blooded American, who distinctly remembers the terror, confusion, and human loss of life from 9/11, I'd make it a slow death.

Good Catch I didn't notice till you pointed it out

 

[BanthaFodder]

If we can escape his bodyguards no matter what, I'd just run up and grab him. It's not like his bodyguards could catch me.

[Ensiferum]

Considering all of the suffering he has caused and more so the suffering his continued existence would have caused in the future, yes, without hesitation.

 

[spectrenihlus]

Yes and I would go home and sleep like a baby.

 

[spectrenihlus]

I would do my damnedest to take him Alive, with minimal harm done to him. If not taking the shot meant a capture opportunity in the future I would not take the shot.

If there was an immediate and pressing need to be lethal I would do so, but I would attempt to make it as clean, efficient and as suffering-free as I could.

I have no intention of becoming a monster whilst trying to fight them. It is a shame the same cannot be said for a good portion of the people in this thread.

Fastest way to kill a monster is to be monster. That is how you win wars by being the most brutal son of a ***** not in measured violence. This was how the Civil War was finally won and this was how WW2 was won and guess what in the end it saved lives on both sides.

There was no true context for that quote to begin with. When something like that is said, even with a topic like this, it's still not valid in said discussion.

 

[WorldCritic]

I would take the shot. He's been the master of hide and seek for too long!
