February 16, 201610 yr Author Perhaps I wasn't clear in what I was asking. What i meant to convey is that I'll bet you can provide the answer a pro-lifer will give to how he or she can be pro-life and yet be pro death-penalty or killing in self-defense or killing in war. These are not mutually exclusive things and this position is defensible with a coherent argument (meaning logically consistent with itself). I'll bet you can make the argument for us and answer your own question. What fun would that be? :popcorn:
February 16, 201610 yr From the story: The source said three four-man teams needed 12 hours to carry out the successful mission. ============== So 12 good guys to take out that one bad guy. The question is after "the shot" what is the 12 member teams tactical plan? I assume escape was the goal and more shots may have given their location(s) away. Of course, maybe they did kill more of them and that part is classified. I think the golden rule is no more than 3 shots or the enemy can locate the sniper
February 16, 201610 yr Author I think the golden rule is no more than 3 shots or the enemy can locate the sniper I am not a sniper but if you have three teams I assume they are not all three in the same location. I assume they would flank the target but again I really don't know. I do know a handful of snipers and if I run into any of them I will ask for some sniper basics and report back.

I do know a handful of snipers and if I run into any of them I will ask for some sniper basics and report back. My father was a sniper. He told me they had 3 shot/evacuate/relocate rule. Said he never broke it. Of course that was many many moons ago The Marines shot the M40 in .308. It's fashioned off the Rem 700 and I guess that's why he was so fond of it as a hunting weapon.
February 16, 201610 yr ^ and he lived to tell you about it. That's valid evidence that it is a good rule of thumb.
February 16, 201610 yr So we can make the choice to kill someone on the other side of the world but it is wrong for a woman to make a choice in her own best interests? A resounding yes. I don't believe in killing babies, but I do believe in retribution against evil people. Yes, I know it's contradictory, but I still believe in capital punishment and I don't need anyone to agree with me. I'm 65 years old and I'm sick and tired of side stepping do gooders.
