....and he would be the patrol's guardian angel...........
God Bless them All,
Home of the Free because of the Brave......
This Marine sniper is armed with a .50 cal rifle. He can reach out and touch someone who is 20 football fields away. And its effects are devastating.
Happy Hunting, Devil Dog.
You should remove these pictures immediately! You are providing the enemy with the location of our snipers.

You're joking, right?
Also, give 'em hell, Marines.
No, I don't think they are joking - this is a concern. Based on the fact that they mentioned the name of the town nearby in the description, it was pretty easy for me to find a probable location for this lookout point using Google maps. If permission from the military was granted to post this, I would assume that the military has it handled and is likely moving locations frequently or using this post as a trap - they aren't dummies. If permission wasn't granted, then MSNBC is possibly putting our men in more danger than necessary.
Today marks 3 years since my son entered boot camp at Camp Pendleton. 3 weeks ago he turned 22. He arrived in Afghanistan last week. Seeing these photos helps improve upon my own image of the conditions he is in. This is my sons 2nd deployment I pray the Lord watch over him and his fellow service members and that He keeps them healthy mind, body and soul! Thanks for posting the photo's!
Send him my best wishes! Words can't describe how proud I am of our Marines!

My Dearest Son,
I have written you letters everyday since you left in May. Telling you smoking is bad and here I see you smoking. But; I want you to know how proud of you I am. No words can describe that. We miss you so much and are looking so forward to Christmas. You're in our thoughts and prayers. Be safe Devil Dog.
Love Mom
