Spec Ops Shooting Radicals In The Face

How about everytime they an armed Muslim they put their guns down and shake their hands. Let them shoot at our soldiers andd curse how religion and way of life. Let them think up ways to murder as many civilians(Arab and American) as possible all the while we think of ways to make them more comfortable.

Apparently, someone's hurt feelings are being soothed....this sucks..

 @BrandonWebb @LauraWalkerKC @jack murphy. it is not shocking too see targets depicting people at all. it is easy to forget that shooting a silhouette target is just that a silhouette. depicting a woman or even a teen holding a weapon thereby showing they are combatants is a way of slowly "acclimatizing" soldiers too the fact that they may have to fire upon women and kids tooting weapons as they are not innocent civilians but in fact are belligerent combatants. if a soldier flinches in the field when faced with a sudden appearance of a combatant soldier or woman and hesitates fora nano second he/ she will be the one being bagged out of the operational area. we live in a world where women and kids are increasingly toting guns and doing the fighting especially in guerilla/ dissident arena`s. so the pictures of soldiers shooting "life like' depictions of  terrorists is not shocking at all. its life! the detractors need to understand this. 

i believe that soldiers should be trained on ranges and in kill houses using 3 dimensional ballistic dummies that 'bleed" to drive the reality home as opposed to potting paper pop up targets. by shooting a life like bleeding dummy will be shocking to some and those that cannot handle the reality of it all can be weeded out and sent to work elsewhere and kept from contact areas where their inability to shoot wont cost lives t the critical moment. imagine a recruit slotting a dummy and the fake or pigs blood spatters on them? the real soldier will be identified in training and the ones likely too freeze up sent to desk work.

just my 3 cents worth.

CAIR is correct: the newspaper that published the photo(s) sent the wrong message. The "journalist" should not have been allowed on a secret installation - or the article should have been vetted and redacted for public consumption. Who's in charge of that outfit anyway?

Anyone else out there sick of these ass hats caring about our enemy's feelings?  My ears are bleeding from the shit our "leaders" are worrying about.  Here's a novel idea: analyze the problem, create a solution, execute and follow through.  I guarantee you our enemies aren't worried about hurting our feelings as they plan their next assault.

I say shoot away....not every threat is a bearded smelly guy in a far away land.

A few years ago we developed a wide range of situational targets at a previous job in VA and the idea was to make them as realistic as possible.  We went as far as cutting each target accurately to portray sil's in low light environments and developed sticker kits for the Ivan targets to include plastic weapons to attach as well.  It was basically the idea of a co worker and mine to dress up, grow our beards out and make shit real.  We were both prior service (Infantry and sniper) and thought we could do some good with these. They flew off the shelves even as they were DoD funded and we did lots of business with the boys down at Dam Neck.  We would cater to their needs and customize from there. If they needed a woman in full garb holding a cell phone we did it.  If they needed a guy holding a wad of cash we did it.  Hell, we even had a full size yota with a 50 in the back for some of their bigger toys.  Train as you fight! Not on a budget. It was a pleasure to help.

@Ed @CAIRNational An army buddy once informed-while-giggling that the gene that made kids point guns at soldiers had been eradicated in Iraq

@alimhaider I trust the SEALs to know what their doing. @LauraWalkerKC

I'm 2/3 of the way through "The Legacy of Jihad.  Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims" edited by Andrew G. Bostrom.Want a book rec on jihad history?  this is THE compendium.  http://tinyurl.com/bru4ffo

so what exactly are they suppose to use as target? i dont recall seeing zombie clowns on the battlefield....

@BrandonTWebb yes!

I'm surprised that CAIR(as a front for Islamist terrorist organizations itself) doesn't put in an order for targets like this for the Jihadis to train on. They've proven themselves very adept at killing muslim women and children over the years. In order to be realistic though you'd have to have the targets be unarmed for the Islamists to train on. Jus' sayin;

Gosh, I feel really bad about this. Hahaha! How long do ya think until a "cease and desist" from pan-head?

The guys from CAIR would probably like the targets to resemble Amish or Mennonite women.  Never mind no one has ever had an AK pulled on them by an Amish or Mennonite woman.  I remember the general surprise in '82 with the first reports of IDF soldiers hesitating momentarily when an Arab woman would pull a weapon from under her skirt and get off the first shot.  Yes, indeed, those targets are entirely appropriate and may well save an American warrior's life.  Or doesn't CAIR care about that?
