From the Daily Mail, who led with "Deadlier than American sniper Chris Kyle: Royal Marine has 173 confirmed kills including 90 in just one day and most came during a six-month tour of Afghanistan," the comments shitshow included:"Trust the yanks to try and take all the glory lol British Military is the best"
"Longest confirmed kill shot was by a british sniper.. fact"
"so lets make a movie out of this gentleman, and rip apart his integrity saying he wasnt hero and hes a coward etc….. congrats to this man, chris kyle was a hero and this royale marine is a hero no doubt about it…. congrats from america!"
And from the esteemed Sun Online comments section (all sic):"We're better than the yanks at everything."
"The L115 A3, an excellent piece of equipment, designed and made in the UK by a British company."
"Now that's the type of person who SHOULD be included in the honors list!"
"To all the idiots saying snipers are murderers and cowards. You fools!"
It's all a bit odd, isn't it? Maybe it's just me, but I'm not big into gigantic, sustained bouts of murder. Maybe I'm just a square who's not all that keen on illegal wars, a limp-wristed lefty who doesn't support the Lads. Bet you'd like me to say this to their faces, eh?"You know what, I don't reckon shooting 90 people dead in one day from an alcove a mile away is especially morally just or a great source of national pride," I'd say, seconds before getting kicked to within an inch of my life in a pub parking lot.Anyway, this is all moot. The deadliest sniper is generally considered to be Finn Simo Häyhä, credited with 542 career kills, 500 of which occurred during a 100-day period in the Winter War with the Soviet Union. But still: Rule Britannia!Follow Joel Golby on Twitter.1. This is actually a very good point. Is the unnamed sniper banned from all funfairs? Do funfairs have a union—or at least an interconnected database—where they can share mugshots and pertinent details of trained snipers who might scam them for oversized teddybears or Teletubbies stuffed with heroin needles? Or would that database be a national security risk, in case it fell into terrorist hands? To be safe, it's probably best if carnies just take this hit. ↩"PRIDE of CHURCHILL'S & THATCHERS x BRITAIN"
"Then tell him to 'get' Jihad John !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"He would be great at those fun fairs, the ones where you shoot a target and get a stuffed toy. (or he has been banned from them for winning all the time)." 1
