the sniper

I could empathise in this story and I knew that the real of civil war and it was shocked and sad because in the story there are fighting between the people in same country. More over many people joined in the war even old woman. She was in the place which the fight has occurred, she was maybe hired to find the enemy.  It makes me surprised. Reason why, I thought that only men are the part of war. Also after she told where the sniper was the worse thing happened, the sniper killed old women. I thought he did not have sympathy so that he kill whoever is his enemy. Finally he was fight with a man in one against one. And from the sentence that he did field dressing, I find he was an experienced sniper. This tell there were many fighting on Ireland. At the end of story he beat his enemy but it was his brother. I think that in the real, kind of this things happened because people has their own opinion and they a spread even their relative was in other side.
