JTF2 is our special forces. The Canadian sniper who set that record was Rob Furlong of the PPCLI.

Was beaten by an Aussie I believe.

I always love hearing how badass JTF2 is. Its a weird source of Canadian pride for me.

By all accounts everything we understand the American SEALS and Delta Force to be. JTF2 is right there with them.

No it was a British Royal Marine that broke it iirc.

Edit: No, British Army

The Canadian sniper that held it for a few years is a police officer in Edmonton now. Which we all know is more dangerous than Afghanistan. Careful Rob!

I love the fact that nobody knows anything about them. It allows them to effectively do their job.

Was a police officer. Got fired for urinating in a fellow officer when drunk. Seriously.

Please tell me this is a typo. Though 'on' is not necessarily any more pleasant.

Hahaha I forgot about that. But it's not like they were on duty or something, there was a group of them out drinking and screwing around.

Wonder what he's up too now.
