While my combat style has been versatile, my grandfather (in real life) was a sniper in the defense of Stalingrad, a decorated war veteran with 26 confirmed kills in Stalingrad alone.
Our family has continued his legacy. My father had Spetsnaz training and fought in Afghanistan amongst the Red Army, and I myself fought with OMON in Chechnya, 2003. I was my squad's sniper specialist.
I have carried my skills over to FPS games. I continue to stalk the shadows, and snipe from afar, always taking point and dropping UP from vantage points.
I can also play assault, when need be. But if there are no snipers on the field, I wield my rifle with pride and authenticity of a real sniper.
There is nothing more pleasing than watching cloaked scouts and logis cry against me and send me hate mail when I peg them in the head. I apologize for my eyes being overpowered, thank you. And by the way, I kill with Militia Sniper Rifles. The only way to go--skill, not power ))

Is it rude? I think not. When one is scarred from actual combat, is it wrong to drink vodka and let loose a little bit? To have seen your comrades die in front of your face at the hands of Taliban scum and know that you could have done fairly little to prevent it? Can you ever know that feeling of helplessness?
I can no longer atone for my mistakes during the Chechnyan War. I could only fight to defend the honor of the man who took that bullet for me, because he believed I had a future. I saw what I meant to him and fought that I might have a future.
More than half of my squad was wiped in Grozny. I had just taken vantage point over a small portion of Western Grozny, when some Chechnyans had leaped behind Lieutenant Kostov and three of my fellow soldiers and slit their necks. I had stopped one moment to check my magazine, and more than half of my squad had been wiped out. While they were gloating and spitting on my comrades' bodies, I took the oppurtunity and killed two of the four assassins, but nothing hurts more than knowing that if only you had moved quicker, if only you kept your eyes open wider, you might have seen those damned Terrorists...
Until you have experienced the gore and violence yourself, I don't know what to say. At times I've been lost for words. I don't think I could have recovered from depression, had not that missionary come along and give me hope when I lay in the hospital.
War is brutal. I cannot fight in real life war again, so the very least I can do is to prevent others from dying by taking out the enemy in front of me, albeit this is a video game, and it has no effect on real life whatsoever....but I do not ever want to have that feeling again. I want to protect my comrades, my nation, my people.

Thank you. I am glad that you respect your soldiers...
It saddened me to see, that, on a trip to New York to visit some of my Russian relatives, I saw American veterans on the street, homeless and hungry.
Please, do a favor for me, anyone who sees this...the next homeless vet you see, invite him to a meal with you, anywhere, be it fastfood or formal dining. Whether it is in your budget to go small or go big, even the smallest bit of gratitude to those who have been denied...it is warming.
