#5 He dropped straight away into the arms of a fighter behind him. The guy just panicked and dropped the leader and ran away.

He had been given a lead sleeping tablet.

Fucking awesome!

#6 "He did a top job that day - but we are all sick about him going on about it and telling us what a great shot he is."

Does this make him a Texan? I think so. They take a while to get sick about stories like this, and they have lots of bars to tell stories in.

Now, if the Cpl. is also a fisherman . . . .

#7 The video purported to be actual combat kills...is not. That is footage shot of people varmint hunting here in the US. It has been around for a while now, and thoroughly debunked as being combat footage.

#10 God bless them, and continued good hunting. Pop the head islamo-cockroaches and the others will continue to run away.
