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
Isreal

Here are the final standings for the sixth annual International Sniper
Competition:

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.

Nothing to do with the Canadian military except that he was in Canada on training with them. He was
apparently attempting to break up a civilian brawl and things went awry.

The pilot said:

Schmidt stated, in his official apology to the family and friends of
the dead and injured Canadians: "My perception was that we had been
ambushed, as we had been briefed that Taliban were expected to use
ambush tactics in an around Kandahar...I believed that the projectiles
posed a real and present danger to our flight and specifically to my
flight lead...I believed at the time that my flight lead's transmission
to 'check master arm, check laser arm,' indicated he concurred with my
decision that the situation required self-defence.

Where as the Canadian punk was a drunken murderer, I bet he stabbed
Crooks in the back.
