A day in the life of a Sniper in time of war:

As dawn breaks among the trees, we set out. There are four of us. At one time we were seven.

Three of my companions were killed when they shot us out of the sky. We were on a stealth

plane went up in flames. We made sure it would be destroyed by loading the missiles and

As soon as the explosion occurred, we had no time to wait and see if they were alive. We
