When our military is being cheated from their vote because a postmark is not available at sea, all Americans should be Outraged.

Last night on History Channel, there was a rather good segment on history the use of snipers(suicide missions). It should be noted Americans have not liked snipers in most of history(until Nam & after) & snipers are an offensive not defensive weapon. So, you are both correct & wrong in saying that Americans would not use thier deer rifles to "protect their homes" not directly at least. Those who would take the position of sniper in a fight for freedom would have already lost most everything or at least written it off. They would be taking the war to the enemy before it came to their home or the homes of others.
