I have decided to change my blog. My last blog wasn’t working out. “Brandon”s Movie Spoilers” was ruining movies for others. I decided to take you step by step on the hardships of becoming a sniper. Many people don’t seem to realize of the hard work and training that is endured to become an expert rifleman. So what is a sniper? The term was developed during the 19th century. The term referred to a hunter snipes, a game bird. A sniper is a well trained rifleman who works in pairs and on controlling his body when expected to make a kill. Snipers in today’s media are portrayed as an easy and fun job. Many teenagers these days love to play video games whether it’s on the Wii, Ps3, Xbox 360 etc… Games such as Medal of Honor, Metal Gear Solid 4, Call of Duty Black Ops and many more allows you to play at least once as a sniper whether it’s on a mission or multiplayer. In the games all you have to do is aim and shoot and in just seconds you have made a kill. In movies snipers are portrayed the same way.
No one ever mentions or shows what snipers have to endure to become experts at handling the rifle. Throughout my posts I will be showing you what movies and games don’t about the lives of snipers. I will talk about the training they must overcome and the requirements to graduate from school if they ever want to become snipers. I will provide examples of experiences of snipers on missions and their thoughts about it. Snipers aren’t snipers the rest of their lives. At one point in life they will TRY go back to their “normal” lives. I will also talk about that, on how sniping takes a toll on a person’s mind and can pose traumatic problems. Until next time…over and out!
