Body Armor Works

#6  Lucky Joe and far better man than me. Training surely helps. Facing an idiot sniper helps. Technology is a bitch Ahkmed my man. No place for idiots who didn't qualify on their ak or carbine. If the videographer was near the shooter then he should have been easily taking the man's head off given the quality of the video indicating a relatively short range for sniping. It's not a secret they've got body armor.

#3  I read the rest of the story on Drudge. The soldier was a medic and after the sniper got popped, he went over and treated him. The guy has way more forgiveness than I.

#2  Wow - obviously it works very well. Too bad he didn't locate the shooters when he scanned for targets. I was impressed with how fast he was back on his feet and ready to rock 'n roll.
