Without them we would be russians today along with other neighbouring countries like Sweden, and maybe Norway and Denmark.

      False. "Recoil" is an infamous urban legend and online myth attributed to different snipers.
      Snopes debunked "recoil" quotes on Jan. 15, 2006. You can google it.
      "'What do you feel, if anything, when you shoot an Al Quaeda freedom fighter from such a long distance?' The young soldier shrugged his shoulders and replied: 'RECOIL' & turned and walked away."
      "Katie Couric, while interviewing a Marine sniper, asked: 'What do you feel when you shoot a terrorist?' The Marine shrugged and replied: 'Recoil.'"
      "US Special Forces soldier was asked what he felt when shooting members of al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The soldier shrugged and replied, 'Recoil.'"
      "Many who have served in the U.S. armed forces in previous conflicts have reported hearing the tale during their time in the service.

      English Wikipedia currently says:
      The name "White Death" has been suggested to originate entirely in Finnish propaganda, rather than having been given to Häyhä by the Russians; according to information from prisoners, to the Russians "White Death" referred to a severe frost in the deep forest. Häyhä having the nickname "White Death" first appeared in the Finnish Winter War literature of the late 1980s.[13]
      The cited source [13] is a candiate thesis from the University of Oulu in Finland.

    I have nothing but respect for my Finnish neighbours and how they held off the Russians during the winter war. Häyhä is a legend! The only good thing Sweden did during WWII was to help Finland during the winter war, otherwise we more or less sat by and watched, being "neutral"... which is f*cked up.
    We have a saying in Sweden in connection with the winter war, "Finlands sak är vår", which would roughly translate to "Finland's cause is ours", as in we won't let our neighbouring kin stand on their own

    Another famous Finnish joke:
    A Soviet army is marching through a Finnish forest when a general hears a voice from over a hill shout: "one Finnish soldier is better than 10 Soviet soldiers!"
    The general promptly send 10 soldiers to root out the voice, there is gunfire, and then silence.
    After a few minutes, the voice shouts defiantly: "One Finnish soldier is better than a hundred Soviet soldiers!!"
    The general sends a hundred men to remove the nuisance, there is a racket of gunfire, and then quiet.
    The voice crys out loudly once more: "One Finnish soldier is better than a thousand Soviet soldiers!!"
    Enraged, the general sends a thousand men charging over the hilltop to shut up that voice once and for all, an epic battle rages, and then quiet. After a few minutes, a gravely wounded Soviet crawls back over the hill and crys:
    "It's a trap! There are two Of them!!"

The USA barely makes the leaderboard of snipers worldwide, behind the likes of Russia, the UK, Canada, and even Sri Lanka, and that's with a vastly larger population, much better funded and equipped military, and vast superiority in men and materiel in almost every conflict. Chris Kyle killed mostly poorly trained armed civilian insurgents, or even unarmed ones, with total air, strategic and tactical superiority... oh well.
