#14  Well I was trained to use an AK with the "pray and spray" mode of aiming but I don't discount the accuracy of one you personally sight in. I doubt any of the folks currently using the abundant AK supply in Iraq has ever been trained properly on weapons use, let alone has their weapon properly sighted in. Good thing too.
I would suspect good guy snipers would be going for punkin popping for the psyops effect when ever they can.

#13  Also I have never heard of an American sniper that was partial to a neck shot. Sounds more like a percision AK aimed at the torso.

#12  "That’s where the Americans aim ..." 'cause thats where a kill registers. What a dummy.

Ssomeone needs to show these lamers they are holding the firestick backwards.

#11  Like Ghalyan, many of those wounded in fighting were shot either in the chest or above, the hospital doctors said. “That’s where the Americans aim ...

Where exactly are the Mahdi aiming?

#10  Not to mention the surgically attached puppies, kittens and baby ducks in their hands.

#9  A6220: I'm sure they are all civilians... Just ask that Dr in the Fallujah hospital.

But of course. They were all brought in without weapons surgically attached to their bodies. They must be civilians.

#7  An Najaf is behind the times on their morgue. They should travel to Gaza and check out the cool (literally and figuratively) stainless steel Paleo morgue modules. The Shi'ites could have a good morgue, too, if their friends quit booming the oil pipelines. Morgues cost money, too.

#3  Funny how all the energy goes into waving and firing AKs and RPGs and not into cleaning up the trash and the sewers.

I think you just summed up the problem with the Middle East. Hell with the entire Third World.
