Title: Death of a Sniper Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on April 12, 2004, 01:11:25 am Hey guys, just wanted to tell you all about a U.S. Army Sniper that died recently. His name is Joseph Warth (Joe), and he died last Monday, April 5, 2004. Joe joined the Army in 1960 and was trained as a Sniper. After serving in West Germany, he soon went to Vietnam and was serving as a Sniper there when the Gulf of Tonkin Incident happened in August 1964. Things soon heated up and his score quickly rose to over 20 confirmed kills. After his Vietnam service, Joe got out of the Army and returned to his hometown in Ohio where he retired from Mead Paper Company 38 years later.
Joe will be missed by his family and friends, and the Sniper Community he left behind nearly 40 years ago. Good-bye Uncle Joe......I miss you. -GhostSniper Out.

I can't believe you think it's a game where you "score" Title: Re:Death of a Sniper Post by: *DAMN Hazard on April 12, 2004, 03:58:05 am Ghostsniper.... I'm sorry for your loss and all
But what does this have to do with anything? Once again I'm sorry but this is just a sad attempt to rack up some posts. Title: Re:Death of a Sniper Post by: Scrach on April 12, 2004, 06:56:52 am score You sick, sick man! I can't believe you think it's a game where you "score" Title: Re:Death of a Sniper Post by: Brain on April 12, 2004, 09:27:49 am and the game we play is only one step away from what he did. the only difference is that they aren't constantly trying to squeeze out that extra bit of realism. how would you like it so that when the tango shot you you started bleeding? would that be real enough for you?
please guys, think before you comeback with hypocritical remarks like that Title: Re:Death of a Sniper Post by: BTs_GhostSniper on April 12, 2004, 03:24:11 pm Wow, how do you reply to three posts at once???
I didn't expect this outcome to my thread at all, but here are my replies..... To Crypt: Yes, in the military we do call it a score.....just as when a fighter pilot shoots down another aircraft, or an infantryman kills another soldier, or a sniper kills someone from 800 yards. To put it in a little more perspective for you Crypt, when you get laid, you also "score." To Hazard: I didn't write this to up my post-count. I could care less how many posts I have, I just get on here to relieve boredom and hopefully make some interesting posts along the way. If I cared so much about how many posts I had made, do you really think I would have deleted 400 of them? Ask Brain about that one. To Scrach: It is NOT a sick game involving innocent people killing others. Do you really think that the U.S. Snipers are just out shooting at innocent civilians? If you believe that, then you just don't know anything about the military of this country. -GhostSniper Out.

Thanks Stripes. He was my Uncle, and he was a very good friend to me.

Could you repeat that in English for me? :) Title: Re:Death of a Sniper Post by: spike on April 12, 2004, 09:14:50 pm Except for this mis spelling, it is english. His point, I believe, is that this is not Ghostsnipers personal blogspot. ergo such spam or personal topics have no place here...
dont shoot the messenger, im just interpreting Title: Re:Death of a Sniper Post by: crypt on April 12, 2004, 10:19:54 pm Whatever, I don't think it should be called a score though.
Anyway, I was just kidding in the first place, but you didn't realize that.

I like it! Since I'm a *DAMN Supporter, maybe Mauti would make me my own forum section titled "GhostSniper's Blog." Or maybe just one titled "GhostSniper's Posts." Yeah, that would be cool....and I could put all of my quizes in there! Man, the possibilities are endless!

Title: Re:Death of a Sniper Post by: BFG on April 15, 2004, 04:57:03 pm Like an online diary... basically. easy way for people who dont know jack shit about html etc to have a website where they can easily upload entry's, photo's etc... and people can respond to them. stick 'blog' into google and you might get a suprise... they are everywhere...
in terms of 'blog' gear... id definatly suggest www.moveabletype.org (http://www.moveabletype.org) - although it helps to know what your doing to get the thing set up correctly. tata :) Title: Re:Death of a Sniper Post by: Toxic::Joka on April 15, 2004, 05:22:52 pm I allready said that giant, too fast for you.. . ;)
