How'd that Ukrainian get 3000 people to lie down for him to shoot over their feet? That's never going to work in a combat situation.
It's easy if you're a good shot; you just kill 3000 enemy combatants in a line and then shoot the 3001st over their feet.
The 2884th soldier stepping out from cover after watching 2883 of his fellow soldiers be shot down in front of him after doing the exact same thing: 
Ukraine could be done with this whole thing if light grenades were real.
This image reminds me of both catch 22 and slaughterhouse 5.
I like the the way you think.
An overcompensated kilometer.
what is a mile?
1600 large baguette.
He had 6000 feet?
Heβs either amazing at walking or incapable of itβ¦ π€
It's an SI-derived unit equivalent to 8 furlongs
He was an incredible trumpeter and compose. Feet, though?
About 1,500 liters of maple syrup
1 mile is 5280 feet
how many football fields is that?
It's 7320 poutines. I'm not sure about football fields.
14.666666...
Iirc The best Sniper in WW1 was a Canadian (An indigenous one to) then came the white death who best his record in Finland, then a Canadian sniper beat him while serving in the middle east
Correct me if I'm wrong, I might have my facts mixed up.
The Canadians in the middle-east were called the "greatest snipers" by members of the US military - multiple kills over a mile (5280 ft or 1.6 km) but a Ukrainian sniper recently made a shot at well over 6000 ft. Would love to plant a little nervousness in that Orange Chump
RIGHT I forgot about the Ukrainian sniper.
trained by Finns?
As of the 2016 census, there are 143,645 Canadians of Finnish ancestry.
And we did just pick a Finnish rifle to equip the Canadian Rangers with
Fuckin deadly!
Call in a Canadian to Finnish the job.
Marksmanship is quite popular up here
Whose feet? π¦Ά
