U.S. Soldier Killed Today By Rogue Sniper(Video)

It happened Today in Salal al-Din...The article doesn't say anything about the Rogue Mercenary sniper, but I like to jump to conclusions..There is a video of him being struck and falling in mid-strife as his comrades duck for cover, but I removed it because I don't think we can post videos of people dying.

There's a defected mercenary soldier on the loose who sniped a British soldier from 600 yards away through a 9 inch gap in glass and now a American soldier..Seems pretty news worthy to me..If someone else heard this before me I would want them to post a thread making me aware, so I posted a thread making you aware, that was the point.

through 9 inches of ballistic glass? That is a load of bull!! That ballistic glass is like 50x stronger than the actual armor we put on HMMVs.

Where is a link to verify this happened? Or verify he was sniped through 9 inches of ballisitic glass? What was he using a howizter?

Facts Facts facts?????

Where's the video?

....

No, a nine inch GAP, meaning the window was cracked.
Here is the thread on that:

Here is the video of the American:

Because I state a person dies in a video...Does that constitute a fair warning of NSFW? And the video is from a Iraqi news program, not some snuff film so give it a rest, a matter a fact, I removed the video because I know some mods act a little iffy..close the thread, too much negativity in here for me.

The link you posted brings up a porn site. NOT a video of a soldier dying.

WHhat? maybe you type dyslexic or something? The site has all types of NSFW things on it, but the link was directly to the video of the sniper..Google the video if it's that serious and the mod's can check my original post and see the video link, but like I said close the thread..Google it if you want more info

I didn't type anything. I clicked your link and found myself on a page with quite a bit of nudity and a failed _javascript field where video may or may not have been supposed to be.

I'm not a prudish person but I have kids in the room with me.

I like ATS because I usually don't have to worry about my kids seeing anything like that here.

Take it as hostility, but I'm just trying to give you a heads up.
