the title above is a reference to one of the book that i manage to finish reading this month.
the book is about gunnery Sargent bob lee swagger.
a legendary sniper in nam.
the book tell the stories of his life in vietnam and also after that.
after he retired from the marine and live a solitary life. he was coerced by ramdyne a cia backs ops group to to help them in catching a sniper who wanted to kill the president.
actually they just wanna used him as a scape goat for killing the archbishop of salvador.
for me stephen hunter really capture the essence of art of sniping.
for me i'm a fan of snipers.
to me they are epitome of the best of the best.
"One shot One kill"
for most out there they think sniper is a dirty job.
but to me it is a honor job to be done.
they did not kill sensibly...they kill when they were command to do it.
usely their target is the enemy not the civilians.
when use properly sniper can minimize lost on your side and also can demoralized the enemy.
also sniper can be used to kill a specific target.
it was my dream to be a sniper.
but it is just a dream.
to be a sniper means to be an elite of all sharpshooter.
the ability to conceal oneself from nothing else but the target.
fall in love with snipers since the 1st day that i heard about the shot through scope.
done by mr carlos hathcock of the marine in nam.
carlos hathcock is one of the legend in sniping.
there's a lot more out there sniper that are more legendary than him.
in the US, marine sniper and army ranger sniper are the best.
