Desert Surplus
Mark K June 23rd, 2008
We visited this army surplus store in Tucson while we were waiting for our car to be repaired. The owner had a selection of ammunition used by the military in Iraq and was explaining to a customer what kind of carnage each one could cause. He told a story about how Katie Courac had interviewed a U.S. Marine sniper in Iraq and had asked him what he felt when he shot and killed an enemy soldier with a high-powered weapon. “A slight recoil,” the Marine answered. The store owner seemed to enjoy this response, and had an article about the story taped to his cash register.
