Marine Snipers are the Heroes
From the Boston Globe:Marine sniper teams are spread in and around the city, working night and day, using powerful scopes, thermal-imaging equipment, and modified bolt-action rifles that allow them to identify and target armed insurgents from 800 yards or more.
Sniping specialists -- there are several in Fallujah with the Marines -- say there might not have been such a ''target rich" battlefield for such shooters since the World War II battle for Stalingrad, during which German and Russian snipers dueled for months.

All our men and women are heroes, but thank god for these folks. With their skill and precision, they take out the bad guys with as little colatteral damage as possible. Pray for them, and pray for all our troops and their families.....
