If it was supposed to be "funny" it was lost on me,expecially the part on shooting kids.

It was from the movie "Enemy At The Gates". Russian sniper movie? The German sniper hung the kid who was betraying him. Did not say anything about shooting kids. Nevermind.

Yes daferg, I've seen this excellent, if somewhat unrealistic movie (like, you'd think snipers practically decided this epic battle by themselves) over a dozen times. Your sense of irony is noted.

And no, you didn't say anything about shooting kids. It wasn't even in the film. You'd think that afficiandos of a wargame with powerful snipers would've been familiar with the story-- originally written by William Craig in book form--but apparently not.
