There's a story going around, I can't verify the accuracy, that after all this happened and the soldiers enaged in a firefight with the insurgents, the man who was shot (a medic) actually treated the sniper's wounds.

Kerazy.

React in what way?

It's a nice story and all that, but it's nothing mindblowing or special.  Just another day in a warzone.

People DO get shot in warzones sometimes. Sometimes they get up, sometimes they can get medical attention and live, and sometimes they die.


EDIT: Besides, they wear body armor. So I'm not really seeing what the big deal is.......

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

I see you've never played a First Person Shooter, and thus have never experienced the crippling frustration of shooting a man dead on, perfect shot, could kill anyone!...only to see them get up and walk away and/or later kill you! :hopping:

This video is a live-action reproduction of that event...
