One thing is for sure, this guy didn't have me as an instructor. I'm NO good at long range.

Hey, Muhammad, get up.......there's no way that guy can hit you from so far away..

US Marine POINT-FIRED German troops in WW1 at the Battle of Belleau Woods at EIGHT HUNDRED YARDS with OPEN IRON SIGHTS of the M1903 Springfield!

R Lee said it best: "There is nothing more deadly in the world than a Marine and his rifle."

Muhammed said: "Go forth and kill the infidel."

The Marine said: "Yeah, well come deep."

Still don't like them giving out snipers names. They don;t give out pilots names. After the ugliness with the skippe of the USS Vincennes, I prefer no last names be given. It's not like the bad guys are not over hear reading the same articles and watching the same news as we are.

I'm not sure it's a good idea to publicly identify these snipers. Lord know what the terrorists could do in retaliation.

"From the information we have, our chief scout sniper has the longest confirmed kill in Iraq so far," said Capt. Shayne McGinty, weapons platoon commander for "Bravo" Co. "In Fallujah there were some bad guys firing mortars at us and he took them out from more than 1,000 yards."



Sgt. Herbert B. Hancock, chief scout sniper, sniper platoon, 1st Battalion, 23rd Marine Regiment, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, is credited with the longest confirmed kill in Iraq, hitting enemy terrorists from 1,050 yards in Fallujah Nov. 11, 2004. Hancock, a 35-year-old activated reservist and police officer from Bryan, Texas, has been a Marine Corps sniper since 1992. Photo by: Cpl. Paul W. Leicht

The war will be over soon. The biggest contingent of Texas National Guardsmen since WWII left Texas for Iraq the day after Christmas. The city of Waco and their loved ones gave them a huge send-off from the Baylor football stadium. Our Texas men still know how to shoot, and we Texas women aren't bad marksmen ourselves. We'll keep the ranches going and the lights on in the cabins till our men come home victorious.
