My cousin TJ was a sniper in the Army... Served like 4 deployments in Iraq and led the deadliest platoon in Iraq.... They killed more insurgents than any other platoon...
His dad once showed us a letter about TJ where he got a presidential award for putting himself in danger while the rest of his platoon took safety... He took out 2 Iraqi snipers before they could get him or anyone else in his platoon...
He used to sit on my lap when I had to play Santa at the family Christmas party when he was a little kid....
