Even the worst atrocities from those wars, like Homs, weren't marked by the kind of callous disregard for the lines of battle you'd be looking at from this murder-hobo archer | |

And grow up - talk to people who really went through war - Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Chechnya etc. I personally know quite a lot of such vets. You sound like a kid tbh. Believing in one's state glorious army and evil terrorists. Brainwashed by TV it seems. :) | |

So regardless of bows your definition is totally funny. Especially this "All he really can do is cause disorder and break morale." - that's a primary goal of saboteur troops. It looks you are brainwashed by propaganda. Typical "our bad guys are soldiers, there bad guys are terrorists" lol. Grow up ffs. :) | |

He's a useless assassin because he can't make a stand against a vehicle or conceal his weapon. Assigning him a training and support role is worse than sending nobody, because you're investing resources passing on inefficient skills. He can't do extraction missions. Nothing about being a superhuman archer lends itself to sabotage or demolition. So no, not spec ops. Just a terrorist. | |
