My side still aching from laughing. This crazy Canook is saying a
Canadian sniper in Afghanistan has been confirmed as hitting an enemy
soldier at a range of 2,310 meters, the longest recorded and confirmed
sniper shot in history. The previous record of 2,250 meters was set by
US Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock in Vietnam in 1967.
Keep dreaming Canaduh, you will never out shoot Americans.
Right on Joe, everone in the world knows that Americans are better at
anything you care to name than anyone else in the world, anybody who
disagrees should be shot/bombed/tortured/jailed......
Well at shooting anyway, as seen in the results from the international
Sniper Contest at Ft. Bragg. BTW Canada has it's best shooting so did

Sailor killed in brawl laid to rest
By The Associated Press
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Hundreds of people attended a funeral
Saturday for an American sailor who was murdered in Halifax, Nova
Scotia, the man's family said.
Petty Officer 1st Class Damon Crooks was stabbed to death Nov. 4 during
an early-morning brawl on a trendy street in downtown Halifax. He was
there as part of training exercises with the Canadian navy.
About 400 people, including 100 uniformed military personnel, attended
the funeral in West Palm Beach. The service featured a 21-gun salute
and an a cappella version of "I'll Fly Away" - one of
Crooks's favorite songs.
Speakers remembered the young sailor as a brave "good Samaritan"
who tried to help a fellow shipmate. Police have said Crooks was trying
to break up a fight when he was stabbed.
"They said so much about Damon," said Crooks's fiancée, Schyla
Washington, who is eight months pregnant. "Everyone was crying. It
was beautiful."
About 30 American war veterans on motorcycles flying American flags
lined the funeral procession and stood guard while Crooks' casket was
loaded into the hearse by six of his shipmates.
"It was very touching, very sad," said Crooks' uncle, Bertram
Gooden. "I think it was really becoming of Damon. If he had to go,
this was the way to go. There was not a dry eye left in the place."
Cory Wright, 23, of Halifax has been charged with first-degree murder
in the death of Crooks.
Wright is due in court Tuesday for plea.
