I just spoke to my son on myspace and he was telling me that they where visiting a village and found hand written wanted poster for my sons head!He was not named in the posting but he was called the evil one with the American sniper rifle, so he is the only one in the FOB in that area so it must be him.I do not know to laugh, worry or what right now? But he must be doing his job well.

Kidding aside, prayers to all of them working. My nephew got to the big sand box today.
send him a money order for 250 bucks and have him make a poster up with a reward for whoever put the bounty on him. see what that does. lol [:D]
That actually, isn't a bad idea. I wonder if his superiors would have a prob. with it tho..
Still, it's wort a shot.[;)]
He must indeed be doing his job well ...

OK, I had to laugh at this one, kind of makes you think!
Don't post any pictures of him.
Who I.D.'d him, a friendly Afghani?
That is a scare tactic.
The gooks in Nam did the same thing. Put up wanted posters for snipers.
I have been told that if they could not identify the sniper the reward was lower than say for one whom they knew.
"the evil one with the American sniper rifle."
That would cover any American seen carrying a sniper rifle in the area.
Tell him to keep up the good work and that he is in our prayers.

As to coming home with his mind and soul intact... You know your son and I expect that he's a good man. Good men don't take the life of another lightly, nor do they experience pleasure from the act. Good men do a necessary job and do it well. Good men discriminate between the enemy and the innocent.
Pulling the trigger on an enemy is unavoidable. Doing it well enough to cause fear amongst your enemy is exactly the purpose of a sniper. Tell your son that he has obviously succeeded. His superiors have merely failed to understand the fact.
Look at it this way... In a land where life has almost no value, your son has instilled fear amongst even those who place no value on life. If those in command of our military could comprehend this, then they'd soon understand that your son is actually increasing the value of life, not degrading it.
Please thank the lad for his service and tell him that there are a few who understand.
