Trolling for snipers

by Jonn Lilyea••45

This comes from our friends at Milblogging. So you and your friends are pinned down by a sniper, what do you do? These guys dressed up a shovel and mocked him;

I don’t know who these guys are, but it’s an easy guess that they’re not US Marines or we’d be reading about this in the LA Times and USMC Commandant Amos would be launching an investigation to punish them for making the sniper feel bad about himself.

  2. saw this video posted elsewhere. a partial translation was given. “Lower it down! He must have figured it out. The guy is stubborn. Lower it down! He must have figured it out it is a shovel. (guy fixes his thing) Oh shovel you betrayed me. Did he hit it? He is not a pro, must be a kid. I hope he is not going to use RPG (mocking the sniper with something like) You can’t shoot, you bald head.”
    honestly I could see some of the guys I served with laughing and giggling like this too.

  4. I couldn’t help but think that some .50 BMG AP rounds through that wall would have made the joke rather different….

  5. @4 PavePusher wouldn’t they have been shitin’ their shorts when the .50 cal came through. THAT I would have liked to have seen.

  8. John Giduck may have to adapt his training courses for school rent-a-cops to include this combat use of the shovel

  10. That was some funny stuff. At about 3:12 you can see a round kick up some dirt on the road.

  12. I was hoping for a happier ending, like an air and or arty strike…meh, fuggin’ trolls.

  14. #7 Flagwaver: i had just told someone that that confirmed that soldiers are the same every where, esp when they get bored.

  15. My wife: “Why is that funny?”

    Me: “Really? you don’t think that’s funny?”

    Women. Can’t live with ’em, pass the beer nuts.

  16. If school children are pin down under sniper fire in a school yard watching their little playmates dying on the school yard what do they do to mock the sniper?

  17. This wasn’t a schoolyard, you obnoxious ass, it’s combat. You know, that thing that big kids get in. You’ll understand once you grow a pubic hair that doesn’t produce piss from it.

  18. @17 PISS ANTS do not possess a set of balls, let alone the pubic hairs that come with them.

  20. Almost ROFLMFAO, as I’m sitting on the throne, doing a Giduck.
    But I AM laughing like a little schoolgirl.
    And you don’t have to be an infantry grunt to think this was funny. I was commo, (and see comment above).
    That had to be Teh. Worst. “Sniper”. Evah. I didn’t hear or see Mr Shovel get hit once. Many of those shots were SO mistimed – really, AFTER Mr Shovel was pulled back??
    Thanks, Jonn, I needed that touch of military humor in my day.

  21. “If school children are pin down under sniper fire in a school yard watching their little playmates dying on the school yard what do they do to mock the sniper?”

    Well, I can’t speak for others but my pals and I used to moon the shooter, make faces, and hold up signs saying things like, “You missed stupid, try again.”

  23. VWP…..GET.THE.FUCK.OUT!
    Seriously, don’t you ever learn; adults are talking here!

  24. VWP you are a fucking idiot. If I was there and you were present I’d just tell you there was a bucket of dicks on the side of the building. Then the sniper would take care of the rest.

  25. These guys are just having fun. At about 0:39, is that a dushka on a tripod? They don’t have to play with the kid.

  26. I don’t know what it is about hearing others laugh, but I completely lost it through the whole video. Thanks for the translation, that made it even funnier. They might be great out playing dress up with a shovel but their insults need some work. “You can’t shoot, you bald head”.

  27. This reminds me of the stories I’ve heard about snipers whose aim was so bad that their intended targets were dead-set against shooting back or calling in an air strike. They didn’t want the sniper to be replaced by someone who could shoot straight!

  28. You’re not going to believe this but I was rooting around through the vast amount of material at the Australian War Memorial website and decided to listen to a recording of some WW I Veterans. The Veteran one told of his landing at Gallipoli in 1915. He and a rifleman were 50-60 yards away from a Turk who was in a trench digging. As he dug, the shovel (!) came up and the rifleman took a shot. The Turk figured out what was happening and with each miss would wave the shovel as if to say, “That’s a miss.” One of the shots hit the shovel and the Turk held it up as a hit, dent and all! Some things never change. I am amazed that I came across this today, quite by chance. If you doubt me—or don’t—and want to hear it for yourself, here’s the link.

  29. VWP I know you love coming here and posting your BS. I also know you like the foul names you are called (and deserve) and sit at your computer and snicker till milk comes out your nose. The reason I know this is because you also like it when mommy pulls your little pants down and paddles your bare ass. At sixteen years old! So…mommy will be home soon and find you on her computer again and down will come your little “Sponge Bob Square Pants” undies! As someone else here always put it better…TURD!

  30. @27 My dad had a story like that from Korea with the Marines in 1951.

    He said there was a very poor sniper that never could hit anyone, so they pretty much left him alone and used him to scare REMFs when they came forward to inspect, and they would expose themselves on purpose to provoke a shot from “Luke the Gook”, causing much hilarity as they dived into the mud.

  32. Hey guys, be nice to VWP. Stupid fucks like him/her/it just make us look that much smarter.

  33. @21, MCPO, NOPE, I’m betting he’s been sniffing glue and his Momma’s nail polish while she’s “doing tricks” at the bus station!

  35. @34 Why am I not surprise your from texas or as I like to call it baja oklahoma. I bet you got one of those bumber stickers on your car ?Don’t mess with texas it’s messed up enough already.”

  36. Why is it I think of that RPG backblast video and I keep wishing it had been vwpussy instead of some Talibunny behind that RPG when it went off?

  39. Dirka Dirka that is funny. I laughed my ass off. Grunts do indeed have the same gallows humor the world over

  40. VWPussy – Don’t you have a dick to suck? Go somewhere like DU or Kos so you can be among you kind: dipshit, pantywaist losers who whine and cry about their pathetic lives. You aren’t fit to lick the mud off the boots of anyone on this site.

  43. didn’t Honda say VWP was IN texas last week? His ISP was in Victoria? (Partway from Houston to Corpos, for inquiring minds.)
