Rob Furlong best known for holding the previous record for the longest confirmed sniper kill in combat, at 2,430 m (2,657 yd). Furlong's shot, taken in the Shah-i-Kot Valley during Operation Anaconda in March 2002, exceeded the previous record set by his teammate Master-Corporal Arron Perry by 120 m (130 yd). Furlong's record was surpassed in November 2009 by British sniper Craig Harrison who shot two Taliban fighters consecutively at a range of 2,475 m (2,707 yd).
So? We are congratulating a man and awarding him for killing multiple people at record length?
Honestly, I'm for guns and all but even if persons being killed is the opposition, having it as a record just makes it sport.
If it's sport, then it much be OK to kill. Sigh.
Having a record makes it SEEM like a sport, and if he didn't kill them, they'd have killed his Teammates.
Killing is okay in my books. Sure it depends on the circumstances, but we are all going to die eventually.
