isn't that a cowardly tactic, only used by those filthy iraqis?

The Marines used snipers in the Vietnam conflict.

No, pretending to give up and then ambush is a cowardly tactic along with hiding behind civilians.

Blast Celine Dion and Michael Bolton from my car stereo and watch them explode when they get within earshot!

What was that song that killed the Martians in Mars Attacks?

WRONG... I knew a guy who was a sniper in Desert Storm. If they set foot on our soil, take them out any way possible.

How do you think the American Colonies beat the british?
How do you think the Vietnamese kept so many American soldiers at bay?

It's a very smart and effective tactic to beating your enemy. If they can't see you, they can't shoot you.
If you want to go out there, stand up tall with some bright orange fatigues on, be my guest.
You're callsign will be: "the brave decoy"

If cowardly is defending my family, life and freedom, then so be it, im a YELLOW BELLIED COWARD!

getting a little off topic here, but those filthy iraqi's he is referring to are indeeed cowards. They are not defending their country, they are defending their regime. The ones that are resisting the hardest have had a good life terrorizing the population of Iraq and enforcing saddams policies. Now that is coming to an end they are dressing in civilian clothes, feigning surrender to ambush, and using human shields all of which will increase civilian casualties of the "country they are defending."


Getting back on topic, if I saw North Koreans parachuting down, I would probably prepare a bowl of rice for them. Starvation would be the only reason I can think of that would make the NOrth Koreans crazy enough to think they could even pull off a stunt like that.

Try to figure out how they managed to get thousands upon thousands of Koreans packed onto their three cropdusters, and flew all the way over here.

notfred, it's "their"

Edit: or I suppose you could use "his or her," but as Zman pointed out in that other thread, it sure makes it sound awkward.

What would be your first reaction?

After the initial shock what would you do?

Look down at that jug 'o shine and exclaim, "MAN! This stuff is good!!!"

I'd add that I'd try to take out as many as I could with my car without making the car un-driveable.

Later in life I'll probably have a concealed carry permit so I might just reach back into the hatch area and grab a Para 1445. A .45 can give a vary good account of itself if it's in the hands of a trained shot.

First, I would probably request a special session of the UN to see if I could get clearance from the Security Council to defend my homeland and liberate my people.

After France and Germany say "We will veto any resolution that allows you to use violent action", I would then call up some of my buddies and ask them if they could help out.

Then, I would make sure I brought my Camcorder and digital camera to record, for legal and posterity purposes, the courses of my actions.

In the midst of my buddies and mine combat I would make sure that I only shot when there were absolutely no chance of hitting a buddy (friendly fire) or an illegal immigrant (I'm in Texas, so there are a lot of them down here). If I accidently did, I would apologize profusely and explain to the local reporter on the scene of this whole incident that "War if ugly, innocent people get hurt". At which point the reporter will give me a confused look.

Finally, I would have to bring my first aid kit and provide basic care to any of the North Koreans I hit, while at the same time hoping that this North Korean didn't just pull a fake surrender and shoot me with his hidden .33 magnum.

I will try to remind my fellow citizens that this may take more than a few days to clean up, but keep the faith we will prevail.
