Default Canadian Snipers

There was a thread not too long ago where the Canadian snipers that fought in Afghanistan were brought up.

Fantastic performance on their part, showed what world class operators the Canadian military could be. What happened to them after that is just a shame.

If they were Americans they would likely be instructors at sniper schools or given their choice of assignments.

thx for the article. Great to see we're still churning out some of the best soldiers in the business. Sad and disgraceful to see how they're treated when they return.

I have alot of friends in the reserves right now.

They were talking not too long ago about some sniping competition between some Canadian and American snipers. The Canadian sniper with the worst shot, beat the best American sniper.
