The Sniper's Vital, Most Courageous Stance, 2 pages, 40 lines
(continued from above) This poem is also a defense against the uneducated scorning by some. The 9th couplet says: "The sniper's vital, most courageous stance, Should never be termed as "cowardice," His skill, the mission, does greatly enhance, Such rhetoric has a serpentine hiss." It closes with the following words: "His duties done ~ allows the critics to rant, The fruits of his labors gives liberty, Freedom of speech ~ even irrelevant, He has become for them a surety." He defends the right of all to speak, though what all speak is not right. We salute our keenly disciplined American sniper!
