Well, dang!

All I will say is this: we sold off the tractor business a long time ago (actually before I started).

Still...at least it wasn't a Super Duty.

Please excuse this ignorant Canadian, but surely this is proof positive that the United States Marine Corps are the "BEST OF THE BEST".

There can be no doubt that the U.S. Navy is great, but...well...I mean...okay, I'll retreat to the home of the Loon.

A couple of comments:
1) Isn't the military banned from posting to YouTube?
2) To Deborah Aylward: Actually, a Canadian sniper is credited with the longest shot in comnbat, in Afghanistan, for which feat the US Military tried to award him the Silver Star, said shot having saved the bacon of several US troops. The Canaidan Forces said "No."
3) Bets on how long it takes for this video, or excerpts from it, to show up in a gun ban campaign...? Bad enough that CSI: Noo Yawk had a bunch of Irish Drug Running Terrorists shoot their way into the NYPD's evidence vault with one last week...

Saw an episode of Future Weapons where Mack was shooting a new "sniper system" (sorry, was trying to locate it and couldn't) He made a shot close to Carlos Hathcocks old record, I believe over 2,000 meters. He was able to hit it with his second shot. He was pretty pleased to say the least.

And of course he does an episode with the Barrett.....

D.W. Drang, when I was doing a search for the Canadian you were talking about, up popped a policy paper on the evils of the sniper rifle, and you already guessed it, a gun ban.

Deborah, the Canadian did have to take the record away from a Marine!!

Dear "Old Tanker": Leave it to the political Loons up here to link gun control with such an achievement by one of our Soldiers!!!

I hope that their Regiment celebrated long and hard, as the rest of us were not informed of such a remarkable accomplishment. Sad, because our Military is not given enough praise these days.

P.S. Their never has, 'nor ever will be a Canadian who shall ever take away ANYTHING from the United States Marine Corps. God made that decision on the 8th day...it's in the Deader Than Dead Dead Sea Scrolls.

Oooh... This video gives me goose bumps. In a good way.
