Seven Taliban Killed in One Day by Tonsil-Hunting Insurance Companies and One British Sniper, But Mostly One British Sniper
Wonder if he's good at darts.
SNIPER Steve Lewis is the dead-shot of the British Army - killing SEVEN Taliban fighters in one day.
And the 29-year-old ex-binman who blew away 13 of the enemy in his first tour of duty pulls no punches about his job. Steve, of the 16 Air Assault Brigade, says: "We're glad when we get a kill - it's what we do".
Where'd he learn to shoot? Well, early on, maybe -- America.
Frank - who holds a British passport but grew up in America's Mid-West - adds: "Even so, if you talked about it much people would want to avoid you. They'd think you were weird."
In Barcelona (rent it, now, if you haven't), some Spanish lefties are knocking the American heroes about their homeland.
"America is so violent!" the lefty chicks squeal.
"It's not that violent," they protest.
"But the murder rate is so high!"
"Oh, well, that doesn't mean we're more violent," one American says. "That just means we're better shots."
Content Warning: Compilation of Canadian Snipers Killing Taliban. Strong violence content warning on this one. Old video, which you've probably seen, but worth a look.
Actually, I've never been sure this is video of Taliban being killed, or, like, some kind of mountain critter. Whichever -- it does show the devastating accuracy and power of a well-trained sniper.
