[Jesus Malverde]

21. spend some time on liveleak watching snipers in action.

They don't go behind enemy lines, they spend their days camped in a building shooting anything that moves on the front lines.

His first kill was a woman who cradled a toddler with one hand

"I had to do it to protect the Marines," Kyle told Time magazine a year ago. "You want to lose your own guys, or would you rather take one of them out?"

“People ask me all the time, ‘How many people have you killed?’” he wrote in “American Sniper.” “My standard response is, ‘Does the answer make me less, or more, of a man? The number is not important to me. I only wish I had killed more. … The Navy credits me with more kills as a sniper than any other American service member, past or present. I guess that’s true.”

The snipers of Sarajevo brave men or cowardly killers.
