That’s awesome! But as an outsider, the ambulance story still seems more “American” to me. There’s been a significant shift in how America is perceived here over the last 30 years.

I’m an outsider and I stand by the 4th of July vet shooting an eagle free story.

That made me swell with a sliver of American pride. Which is a pretty remarkable achievement this week.

150 shots with a .22 to hit the branch. I’m amazed he didn’t hit the fucking eagle.

150 shots to hit and cut the 4 inch (10 cm) of rope (I guess about 1/4 inch (6 mm) at least not more than 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick) between the eagle and the branch located 70 feet (20 m) above ground, so realistically 100 feet (30 m) distance with a rifle that is not his, i.e. without knowing the aiming point.

He didn’t hit the rope but the branch. If he was shooting for the rope he really would’ve shot the eagle.
