Subject: OPEN IN PRIVATE Fwd: One Mile Kill Shot (UNCLASSIFIED)To: undisclosed-recipients:;
IF YOU ARE SQUEAMISH, DON'T cut & paste & OPEN THIS.
It shows actual recent combat footage of sniper kills of insurgent bad guys from a mile away in order to save outnumbered Marines in contact. It shows "red wall" aftereffects. I know that's what our 20mm gatling guns did on our Air Force AC-130 "Spectre" Gunship but at 3000 - 6000 feet AGL (& a longer slant range) & no sniper scope, we just KNEW what it was doing (making a "red mist") and we didn't have to see it. That seeing-it repeatedly, even of enemy soldiers, can and HAS caused many troops PTSD nightmares & flashbacks. It can be readily cured if addressed in a PROFESSIONAL Combat Veterans PTSD therapy group such as the VA and Vet Centers have provided for the last 20 years.
Troops are inclined to do the exact WRONG thing and deny it and try to numb out with alcohol & drugs so they don't have to face it. One can never get away from their own memory or mind, tho. Working THROUGH it, one has to deal with it in a supportive group of other vets to see it is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation or environment. Then, THEY CAN READJUST TO FUNCTIONING NORMALLY IN A LESS ABNORMAL ENVIRONMENT.
Cheers, RICH
Cut & Paste if you choose to see it.
