1 shot one kill, shoot to kill
What great job skills this guy is learning for his return home, I bet his wife and kids keep their mouths shut while daddy is talking and if you dont shut up his finger will start twitching, he has not killed anyone in a week…
I like the way the kid calmly rationalizes his ability to kill on a daily basis without so much as a single regret or hesitation. Yeah, ticking time bomb, that guy. He doesn’t even fucking know it, either; that is, til’ he gets home, can’t find a job, starts drinking, and then climbs into the clock tower. Ha.
Five rounds in eight seconds? 400 yards? Head shots? Sounds like a N.M. M1A1 Springfield. Whatever, he’s got an angel on his shoulder. Just love a good shooter. Keep them dying man. You know I kid, even have to slam the heros some time I joke, Galen Wilson please dont track me down and kill me when you come home, you rock man!
He was 5 when he first fired an M-16, his father holding him to brace against the recoil. At 17 he enlisted in the Marine Corps, spurred by the memory of 9/11. Now, 21-year-old Galen Wilson has 20 confirmed kills in four months in
Iraq — and another 40 shots that probably killed insurgents. One afternoon the lance corporal downed a man hauling a grenade launcher five-and-a-half football fields away.During a large-scale attack on Easter Sunday, Wilson says, he spotted six gunmen on a rooftop about 400 yards away. In about 8 seconds he squeezed off five rounds — hitting five gunmen in the head. The sixth man dived off a 3-story building just as Wilson got him in his sights, and counts as a probable death!“It doesn’t bother me. Obviously, me being a devout Catholic, it’s a conflict of interest. Then again, God supported David when he killed Goliath,” Wilson said. “I believe God supports what we do and I’ve never killed anyone who wasn’t carrying a weapon.”
He was raised in a desolate part of the Rocky Mountains outside Colorado Springs, “surrounded by national parks on three sides,” he says. He regularly hunted before moving to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., as a teenager. His brother also serves in the military.
Guns have long been part of Wilson’s life. His father was a sniper in the Navy SEALS. He remembers first firing a sniper rifle at age 6. By the time he enlisted he had already fired a .50-caliber machine gun.
“My father owned a weapons dealership, so I’ve been around exotic firearms all my life,” said Wilson, who remembers practicing on pine cones and cans. “My dad would help me hold (an M-16), with the butt on his shoulder, and walk me through the steps of shooting.”
