Sniper: Michael E. Duncan, U.S. Army

Gents & Ladies:

Sniper Michael E. Duncan, U.S. Army, is credited with 39 confirmed sniper kills. Some who read his story and poetry (http://www.war-stories.com/rain-duncan-1968.htm) believe he should be silent about his exploits as a sniper. I do not. Those who believe his story a "stumbling block" for today's soldiers should ask how many Americans would be dead today had Michael E. Duncan's courage flagged or his aim was untrue? How many Americans would those 39 enemy troops have killed? How many American families were spared the grief that never ends? One is too many, and it is certain Michael E. Duncan's valor saved lives.

For those recent posts asking him to be silent ... I ask why? I encourage you to ask today's soldier if they would like to have an American Sniper protecting their unit on patrol.

Michael E. Duncan should be honored to the heavens for the unknown number of American lifes he has saved. If that offends you, then you do not understand that killing the enemy saves American lives. I recommend you visit "Snipers (http://www.snipercentral.com/snipers.htm)" for a list of heroes who do understand, and whose duty it was to protect his comrades.

Thank you, Michael E. Duncan, for your service to our country, and for those Americans alive today because of your valor.

Don Poss,
Webmaster, War-Stories.com
