  • @cowbot2 Your entitled to your opinion. But keep those comments to yourself. The men and women are risking their lives. They had no choice in being sent to Afghanistan. If you cant honour them, then dont comment. You are cowardly. Sitting behind your computer leaving hate comments about people who have spilled their blood so you can sit there and type these shitty comments.

  • Respond to this video...No but he had to deal with thermal and air density variations not to mention heat convection coming off the terrain.. Each circumstance has it's own challenges, to say an event from 40 years ago is that much harder then this event is asinine and strikes of being very very insecure and defensive. Personally as a member of Canada's armed forces and a damn good shooter myself, any sniper that has the badge, be he US/Brit/Can. is someone to respect.

  • @cowbot2 my god i wanna drive my foot up your ass be respectful

  • @Lex5576 Carlos shot a stationary target. Craig shot a stationary target. Rob Furlong shot a running target. Kinda defeats the other two

  • @cowbot2 Wow, are you stupid or something? We're not fighting against the country, we're fighting WITH the country, to purge a very violent group out of Afghanistan. We fight side by side ANA all the time (Afghan National Army). And Canada is the type of country that helps the world. IRAQ, thats what you think youre talking about, and Canada refused to go. Learn a l'il ya l'il shit

  • @robfurlong

    No, thank YOU for your service in the army. From a Canadian working at CFB Gagetown Tactics School.

  • @VonSwaggernaut its the CBC what do you expect

  • @VonSwaggernaut the music is so funny (i'm canadian)

  • lol canadian reporting

  • Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed reading all of your comments and words of support. Over the years I have had many people attempt to contact me for various reasons (what was my experience in the military like, or what type of rifle they should buy). I have constructed a Facebook account, so I can stay in contact with everyone and answer any questions you might have. Hope to talk to you soon, take care. Ret.Cpl.Rob FURLONG.

  • @BubbaLee2: yes, but carlos' shot was a hell of a ot shorter, conditions and firearms/ammo was different.

    your point is void.

  • i like their "never boast" rule (and the fact that he said "i'm not into it like that"). the rest of the punks that get all high on adrenaline are probably the ones who massacre and murder.
