Wisconsin School Halts Adopt a Sniper Fund-Raiser
I saw this clip on our local news this morning. They were selling various items... one a dog tag with the Marine sniper chant... "One Shot, One Kill, No Remorse, I Decide"...

It sure seems they are glorifying killing here. I am beginning to hate repugs more and more.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A U.S. university in Wisconsin has blocked an attempt by Republican students to raise money for a group called "Adopt a Sniper" that raises money for U.S. sharp-shooters in Iraq (news - web sites) and Afghanistan (news - web sites).

3. The could only because its a private U
At a public university it would have been much harder for the administration to stop.
