Finny_1 said:Hmmm...Simo Hayha was a Finnish sniper credited with 542 kills with his rifle and 200+ kills with a submachine gun in the 105 day Winter War against the russians. Among his kills was a russian sniper of some repute...after a six day duel, Simo shot him in the head at 600 m with an open-sighted rifle
:shock:

bigcanada813 said:Ok, I'll break off this one sided discussion. People seem to be forgetting about the Japanese admiral yamamoto. This man planned the attack on pearl harbor and almost had us beat everywhere his carriers where (minus midway). If it wasn't for the fact that he was shot down in 1943, who knows what other strategies he would have thought of.
Well, underestimating your enemies (as here finding it hard to note a Hero when you see one) never has been a true soldiers (or a rather successful) strategy.There were war heroes on every side of the of any conflict -snip- ...And of course it's hard for an American to call a Japanese/German/Vietnamese soldier who single handedly killed a number of American troops, a hero.
in the 2000 insurgents that died batteling with mere AK´s/RPK duds the "Blackhawk Down" scenario there was not one true hero somewhere?
