What operator in the military has the most mystique around it? is the the galley cook on a ship? NO. Is it the CIA operative deep behind enemy lines? Ooo. Maybe. That's a good one. We should do another episode about that. But no! It's snipers. Snipers hold all the mystery. The silent assassins. The calculating, patient stalkers of prey. And we have one on the show! Richard Maynes, who is a super cool dude who wouldn't hurt a fly, but is also ready for violence if it comes; his words) We get into what it's like to be a sniper, where movies miss the mark (see what we did there) and where pop culture is right on target (it's a problem, we know)

We wrap the episode with a speedy game of "Finish the Saying." No spoilers, but Richard is really good at this game. Cameron, less so. Support the show
