He should always be aware of a one mile area around him.
What an idiot, but that's me speaking aloud, very aloud.
M. Moore states that snipers are "cowards" and yada, yada. Wooo, doesn't he know what modern warfare or the type of warfare that has to carried out by US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan provided the real need for snipers. The terrorist or the "enemy" had found out in order to stay alive longer they needed to shoot from long range if not to harness but get lucky sometimes. Sniper and spotter provide the answer to hit elusive enemy that hides and/or uses to their advantage, distance and hit&run tactics. No matter the city or mountains, snipers have provided a well found answer, "get some" and make it stay hurt. Typical sniper tactics when left as is are meant to be left alone out in the bush or rumble, but enemy eyes are everywhere and they see snipers are lurking. This has caused snipers to become part of the fire team or squad on patrols. They have the reach and talent to knock down enemy or provide cover fire.
I leave it at that, because leaving M. Moore to continue any social media yak has already proven he's more knowledgeable about the polyps in his bum than any modern military required tactics. -----Willy ![]()
