Not feeling patriotic enough? Adopt your own SNIPER! Woohoo!
Those little yellow magnetic ribbons just weren't enough for me, so I decided to make like a precision-marksmanship oriented UNICEF and adopt me a sniper!

Yeahhaww!

http://www.adoptasniper.org/

ALL FUNDS and GEAR will be used to support the snipers that are in need of our help. Individuals and companies have chosen to help support forward deployed snipers, our brothers in arms, by supplying them with items they need to get the job done and generally making their lives easier while on deployment.

This has been everything from the basic hygiene type items such as handy wipes to tactical products such as holsters, high speed rucksacks, new optics, rifle accessories, to and mini binoculars and batteries. These are just examples of what we are providing our brothers in the fight. Of course, this all takes money from individuals as well as products donated by dedicated companies or sold to us at reduced prices.

1. Does one get letters
I seem to remember on those adopt-a-child schemes the child would write occasionally to let one know how his education &c. were getting on.

Does the sniper send one a hit-list perhaps?

2. Screw that - I'm still waiting for Fantasy Soldier!
Where I can pick my own fantasy squad of actual soliders, hummers, tanks, apaches, etc., and see how they do week by week. Compete with your friends to see who can put together the best team! You'll be well on your way to an exciting career as a US soldier in no time!









paid for by the US military dept of recruiting.

4. That's a parody site, right?
I really couldn't tell, but it has to be a parody site.

6. Gosh!! Does it come with updated body counts?
Do we get to keep score? Do "accidental" civilian hits count for half?
Can we get proof of his "success", like maybe ears?
