Badass of the Week: Craig Harrison

holy shit!

The story of Craig Harrison capping a Taliban machine gun crew from 8,120 feet away to save the lives of his comrades, however, is about as close as you can get to the complete opposite of both those words.

he gist of it is that even though he had perfect weather conditions for shooting motherfuckers, when Corporal Harrison hit those dudes he was aiming at a spot roughly 400 feet above his intended targets. That's a 40-story building worth of gravity and muzzle velocity loss he needed to somehow account for in his head while under pressure in a life-or-death situation.
