Former WWII sniper is still making the shots at 84 years old

Remeber these special snipers. It's not like shooting a Moose or deer, these have to make a kill to save lives. When he lies down to sight in his target he has to have coolness to know if he misses our troops could die as a result. God Bless all our troops. RTR!

I saw a special on snipers on one of the military channels the other night.

They featured some kid who killed 19 insurgents in one day as they tried to cross an alley way.  He was hitting moving targets at 600 yards.  After the story they brought him in to the range, he was retired, but repeated the 600 yard moving target shot.

That's sick.

I think I saw that show a couple of months back.  Did he shoot one of the guys through a cement wall?  The show I saw had that.  He saw the guys sneak around the corner and they stopped right behind a wall.  He could see both exits where they had to come out, and was watching for them.  After a while they never showed, so he decided to take a shot through the wall.  He guessed about where their head would be and squeezed off a round.  The next thing he saw was that the wall behind them was sprayed red.  He never actually saw the guy after he hid behind the wall.

1. I just hope I can LIVE to see 84.

2. If I do, I just hope I am able to move around.

Kudos to this guy on keeping his skills sharp all these years.

I dont remember that part, but I missed the beginning.  How scary would it be to be, to be up against one of these guys.
