This 85 Year Old WW2 Sniper Veteran Just Showed Everyone He Hasn’t Lost His Sniper Skills

This is epic. An 85-year old World War Two veteran sniper from Missouri who fought in the Battle of the Bulge was given a chance by the US Army to show off the skills he learned during the war. He showed everyone he’s still got it. Watch the video below.

I know, right! And to think we went from his, the Greatest Generation, to what we have now. Like the Miley Cyrus freak show that almost makes you wish abortions could be retroactive. :tisk:

That could be the most accurate statement on the internet.

Comes down to parenting imho. Miley is the product of extreme wealth during adolescence. Who can say how we'd end up no? I chalk Miley up to being a stupid kid...that I wanna strap down to something solid and violate in the most perverse manner.

Go PATS!

You know, I'm not easily offended, so the strap down quip went right past me. However "Go PATS!", that really is beyond the pale! (Especially as they bullied my Ravens :crybaby )

Psssh. I don't have to be drunk to yell "Go PATS!!!" and want to violate young girls dude...I feel that way pretty much upon waking. I'm a board certified D.O.B.

Anyway, back to the OP, the video was amazing. I'm glad they made this happen. Kinda restores your faith in humanity and the good parts of the military.

:yesnod What an amazing and beautiful human being. Sadly, there aren't many of his kind left.

One need not become an Army Sniper to carry his torch, though - Strive to be as respectful, awesome and humble as him at all you do. :dblthumb:
