Sniper shot that took out an insurgent killer from three quarters of a mile

Nice. 1250 meters with a .308 is gawd awful far. Helluva shot.

A couple interesting tidbits:

- the enemy sniper was hiding in a hospital - isn't that civilized?

- it's nice to see that not everyone is eager to become a feminized, euro-trash version of the 21st century male: "The one-shot-one-kill thing is one of beauty but killing all the bad dudes is even more attractive," said Staff Sgt Gilliland, whose motto is "Move fast, shoot straight and leave the rest to the counsellors in 10 years" and signs off his e-mails with "silent souls make.308 holes".


Here's the quiz of the day:
Take a look at the picture in the story and tell me what's wrong in that picture.
