Snipers protect more than what you think they do.

german soldiers during ww2 were just following orders as well, one could argue that there were germans who did not take part in the concentration camps and for the most part, were "just following orders"...they "killed when they had to" and did it "for ""safety"" of the motherland" or whatever...a valid point from the perspective of the one doing the attacking who followed the rules of war...
but when you are on the receiving side of the invasion, you in fact see the troops as exactly where they want to be, military service in the USA is not mandatory and the career they picked is widely known for invading other countries left and right...just like alquaida is well known for blowing stuff up...
your daughter may well have good intentions, but in reality, she is on the biggest machine of terror in the world, it does not dispense medicine and "aid" it dispenses bombs...if government x does not agree with what the USA says, the USA will bomb civilians of country x until they make leader of country x comply...but at the same time everybody is charlie in the west and will not be told what to draw by others let alone what government to overthrow
...you get the abysmal irony in the astronomical rift that is in the US double standard...
the US mental set in a nutshell: a pressure cooker in boston is WMD and terrorism but the worlds largest mobile dispenser of bombers and cruise missiles and death and destruction in the name of politics, is somehow, not terrorism
you said snipers "protect"...so country y invades country x...citizens of country x get force drafted...nobody asked the citizens of country x if they want to fight, country y left them with a choice of overthrowing their own government because politicians of country y said so OR they fight because government x say so...and now force drafted civilian x is now "fair game" for sniper y?
seriously dude...
no really...
