My father was in Patton's 3rd army, 26th division, 104th regiment. He drove the Red Ball and fought in the Bulge. As much **** as he saw, he was glad he wasn't there for D-Day and didn't have to see any of the camps.

He'd have been 98 last July.

God bless every last one of those men.

History's deadliest sniper shots as Ukrainian marksman claims record

As Ukraine claims that one of its snipers smashed the record for longest kill shot in history - a staggering 2.36 miles - MailOnline looks at some of the most dramatic sharpshooter stories in modern warfare.

I don’t believe it.

The Ukrainians have never had a high level Sniper program in their Special Forces history.

In the last European Sniper Team competition at the 7th Army Training Command & Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels Germany, they didn’t even compete. Slovenia, Latvia & Turkey have had multiple top 3 finishes, Ukraine has never even placed.

Over the last few months or so, there’s been all these stories coming out about Ukrainian Snipers from their SBU Unit & the 3rd Special Purpose Detachment from Kyiv, but IMO it amounts to nothing more than well crafted War-Time propaganda. CNN & MSNBC doing in-depth cover stories about what’s supposed to be”clandestine” & invisible Sniper units on the frontlines in the Russian War. It’s classic winning hearts & minds strategy that we used during the Iraq & Afghanistan Wars.

I’m pretty certain most of the actual Ukrainian Snipers are really just Latvian & Polish Augmenters who were apart of the joint US-NATO training program. We never heard a word about Ukrainian Snipers in any previous conflicts until now & anybody who knows that world understands you don’t just wake up & start taking 2+mile long shots & clearing it.

There have only been a handful that have even been verified on record, I highly highly doubt a Ukrainian would even be in the discussion given how fairly new most of their Snipers are.

Sadly, we very quickly went from the greatest generation to the piece of **** generation.

A lot of them thought Ryan Reeves, who lost his life, should’ve gotten an MOH too. Ran and was shot 8 times to make sure they breached and got to the DR before they were able to kill him.
