That's why snipers are trained to take out not just people, but
certain parts on people. Wounding while en route the battlefield is
more efficate, not on the battle field itself- I wouldn't want to take
the chance of someone wounded being able to pick up a gun.
It's not a game in war. You go to war to do one of two things: Kill
or be killed. That's what a grunt's job is- period. Believe me I don't
like killing anymore than the next person, but it's a hard, bitter, fact
of life and has been for over 200 years in this country.
Our government doesn't use billions of dollars on grenades, missles,
machine guns, claymores, biochems, and nuclear weapons just to wound.
If you believe anything to the contrary you're in denial. Until the
government has a surplus of fraggin NERF balls, that's the way it's
gonna be.
