The snipers name was Carlos Norman Hathcock II, and yes, he really did hit that bike but it wasn't from a mile and a half. I believe it was more like 1,000 meters. The 1.5 mile kill was a man who had just stood from drinking water from a pond, not a biker. The reason he shot the bike was becuase the rider was a child, and he did not want to shoot the child. He ended up shooting him anyway after the kid grabbed one of the many AKs he was carring and began to shoot at Hathcock, if i remember correctly.

You are right, i think. But the kid was transporting guns to the enemy. If the kid is giveing guns for someone to uses to kll you, i dont think that i would think twices abot shooting him. i might feel bad becasue he is a kid, and in a normal time he might have been a great kid. I think the worest thing is being by yourself or just with a spotter. That i could not deal with unles he was my bro then i might but just some guy i get stuck with it would be hard for a long time.

I believe that any man would "think twice" before pulling the trigger in that situation, and I sincerely hope that neither you nor myself are ever put in a position where we have to make that decision. I realize that at your age, you have not fully grasped the gravity of the things you are saying (I only began to understand them myself in very recent years), but you need to think before you speak, it is very easy to play armchair general (or sniper) and pretend that life ain't worth a dime or that you are above human emotion, but I guarantee you that in a real world situation, your way of thinking would do a 180.

Knock off the tough guy act. It is not going to impress anyone.
