But the true total was probably several hundreds more as the system for acknowledging confirmed kills was stringent in the extreme, as it required an officer and a spotter to be present when the kill was made. Notable kills: "Cobra" A sniper duel where Carlos shot through Cobra's scope and killed the sniper "Apache" who had a reputation for torturing captive U.S. Marines A NVA General at close range with out a spotter Killing a Vietcong Guerilla with a M2 .50 Cal Browning at a range of 2,500 yd, setting the record for the longest sniper kill at the time

Absolutely!I was just talking to my brother about a new 6.8 Western cartridge today.Which led to a discussion about Winchester's in vietnam,and of course Hathcock.
When I was in 8th grade I stumbled across a Military Book that included this legend, and from here now in my senior year of highschool I'm glad he was my inspiration to enlist in the Marine Corps
I assume it’s because of how the Vietnam War was viewed back home. Unfortunately a lot of people at the time looked down on Vietnam veterans because they participated in a war that shouldn’t even happen at all.
Because he did not meet the criteria for it. Most of the time he was not in a position of being under fire, and when he rescued his fellow Marines out of the track, he was not under fire either. No disrespect to him, there's just very strict standards and conditions that have to be met to receive an MOH. Among the other awards he received were the Navy Commendation Medal and the Gallantry Cross.
Believe what you hear, that stuff about the General, the Apache, and the sniper rifle. Complete absolute fibbing by the good old MACV-SOG. Must’ve had a field day with his stories and how it could be used for propaganda
Other marksman: "So, what is your rifle of choice for sniping?" Carlos: "Browning 50 cal." Other marksman: .... Carlos: .... Other marksman: "How?" Carlos: "I modified it to have a scope."
Fun fact, when going behind enemy lines to kill the General, not only was he never spotted, but he was also crawling for four days from what I can recall from his book. He talked about how as he was crawling the scariest part was him hearing the sound of a snake nearby him only to realize it was one of the most venomous snakes in the world (i’m not sure which type). It’s funny because he said if he was to go out by being bit by a snake, after everything he’s been through, it would of been incredibly embarrassing.
He respected his enemies rather than hate them. Even if he loathed some, like the Apache Woman, he did not let his emotions get the better of him. He saw his enemies as people, not monsters, but also knew that they were a force that had to be stopped. He killed not to honor the military and government or its wider goals of the war, but to defend his fellow soldiers.

@@darksonium1149 Considering gawd actually commands people to kill at some points in the narrative(one of a multitude of contradictions)I'm pretty sure killing isn't actually off the table.
Yah but back then almost no one knew about Carlos's incredible shot, so the legend of it reaching Spielberg, and the only example was known through pop culture, that film Saving Pvt Ryan, and then before people came aware of that real shot, there was a brief period of debate, argument if this was even actually possible, including mythbusters, because the hearsay about the real incident was still spreading now that it was a hot topic
Problem was that it kinda defies physics He’s shooting upward in the rain, the target is in a bell tower that is almost 3 stories up The shot movie wise is very Fucking impressive I’ll give it that, but I doubt it being through the scope instead of hitting on top of it
He used two different rifles on two different tours. One was built on a Remington 700 and the other on a Winchester 70, if I remember what I read in his biography.
This man had to: Be polite Be efficient And have a plan to kill everyone he met I would brag about getting 1000 likes but... Professionals have standards
at 7:40 where Hathcock was going to snipe the general he actually took a few days of slowly crawling through the area. He did an interview explaining this and said he was almost stepped on by patrols a couple of times. He definitely had the patience to crawl through the thick foliage for days to get the perfect shot off. He then had to crawl back out of the area without being seen which took just half as long, if I'm not mistaken. The efforts this man went through to do his job was badass.
@@derloweausmitternacht4136 lots of veterans got fair treatment after the time passed and people found out how poorly they treated the veterans. It was much worse for German soldiers after WW2, they were branded as fascists for the rest of their lives.
@@derloweausmitternacht4136 You realize that there were several Congressional Medal of Honor recipients throughout the conflict even with resentment towards war. It doesn't matter if the public likes it or not the servicemember will receive a CMOH regardless.
What I like about Carlos more than Simo is that Carlos didn't wait for the enemy to come to him. He also didn't kill young soldiers, only the high rank, worthy kills. He also respected his foes.
When North Vietnamese snipers began hunting for Hathcock, other Marines donned white feathers in their bush hats to confuse them. 2:04 scene at the rifle range looks like a rendition of Pyle and Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket.
He has this cool story he told me, he was a medic and was being extracted from a battle on a huey. He saw a wounded soldier on the ground and jumped off the helicopter and grabbed the wounded soldier. All the soldiers where retreating so he saved his life. Cool thing was that a few years ago, the living troops in the state i live in get together and my neighbor tells this other veteran the story. Turns out the other veteran was the guy who he saved in Vietnam. Pretty cool right?

@@esahm373 The NVA were trying to invade South Vietnam. The US wasn't in the region to invade either. The US military was there to help the ARVN and didn't even invade North Vietnam. The whole point to being there was to stop South Vietnam from getting overrun, not to invade North Vietnam.
@@andyfriederichsen I guess that's why the US forces made frequent incursions into North Vietnamese territory? South Vietnam didn't even have a legit government, there was heavy infighting, nepotism, cleptocracy and corruption within the South Vietnamese political elite. There was one coup d'etat after the other and none of those who came to power enjoyed any credibility in the general, overwhelmingly rural population. You also seem to lack actual historical knowledge: after the French colonial forces were ousted by the Vietnamese under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh all sides agreed in Geneva that a referendum should be held two years later over the reunification of Vietnam. Corrupt South Vietnamese supervised by Washington strategists violated those accounts and brutally hunted down political dissidents, since from the Washington POV it was preferable to have corrupt South Vietnamese in power, than a government that enjoyed great popularity, but was alignef with the socialist North Vietnamese liberation movement which managed to liberate Vietnam from the French occupation. Facts matter!

I swear to god this man needs his own movie. 100% best American sniper in history
The fact saving private Ryan got inspiration from him in. The sniper scene of the movie is crazy

How tf did this man not get a Medal of Honor
I assume it’s because of how the Vietnam War was viewed back home. Unfortunately a lot of people at the time looked down on Vietnam veterans because they participated in a war that shouldn’t even happen at all.
Because he did not meet the criteria for it. Most of the time he was not in a position of being under fire, and when he rescued his fellow Marines out of the track, he was not under fire either. No disrespect to him, there's just very strict standards and conditions that have to be met to receive an MOH.
Among the other awards he received were the Navy Commendation Medal and the Gallantry Cross.

Fun fact, when going behind enemy lines to kill the General, not only was he never spotted, but he was also crawling for four days from what I can recall from his book. He talked about how as he was crawling the scariest part was him hearing the sound of a snake nearby him only to realize it was one of the most venomous snakes in the world (i’m not sure which type). It’s funny because he said if he was to go out by being bit by a snake, after everything he’s been through, it would of been incredibly embarrassing.

He respected his enemies rather than hate them. Even if he loathed some, like the Apache Woman, he did not let his emotions get the better of him. He saw his enemies as people, not monsters, but also knew that they were a force that had to be stopped. He killed not to honor the military and government or its wider goals of the war, but to defend his fellow soldiers.

Much respect to Carlos. He is one of the reasons why started in long range rifle sport shooting.
In a sniper scene of Saving Private Ryan, they filmed the same shot when Private Jackson shot through the enemy’s sniper scope.
Yah but back then almost no one knew about Carlos's incredible shot, so the legend of it reaching Spielberg, and the only example was known through pop culture, that film Saving Pvt Ryan, and then before people came aware of that real shot, there was a brief period of debate, argument if this was even actually possible, including mythbusters, because the hearsay about the real incident was still spreading now that it was a hot topic
Problem was that it kinda defies physics
He’s shooting upward in the rain, the target is in a bell tower that is almost 3 stories up
The shot movie wise is very Fucking impressive I’ll give it that, but I doubt it being through the scope instead of hitting on top of it
But you cant do that back in ww2 cuz the sniper back then was weaker than the one the white feather used
It was inspired by this real life story.
@@nguyentnhoang But it falls a bit under Hollywood logic for the fact it defies physics
The most scariest thing is seeing a lump grass missing in the hill
He died at 56 years old but had 200 years worth of stories and memories
Assassins creed anyone?
He used two different rifles on two different tours. One was built on a Remington 700 and the other on a Winchester 70, if I remember what I read in his biography.
This man had to:
Be polite
Be efficient
And have a plan to kill everyone he met

at 7:40 where Hathcock was going to snipe the general he actually took a few days of slowly crawling through the area. He did an interview explaining this and said he was almost stepped on by patrols a couple of times. He definitely had the patience to crawl through the thick foliage for days to get the perfect shot off. He then had to crawl back out of the area without being seen which took just half as long, if I'm not mistaken. The efforts this man went through to do his job was badass.
Friend: Dude thats a machine gun.
WF: put a scope and it become sniper.

Its a genius idea

When North Vietnamese snipers began hunting for Hathcock, other Marines donned white feathers in their bush hats to confuse them.

He has this cool story he told me, he was a medic and was being extracted from a battle on a huey. He saw a wounded soldier on the ground and jumped off the helicopter and grabbed the wounded soldier. All the soldiers where retreating so he saved his life.

@@andyfriederichsen So the Vietnamese fighting for their country against the US mass invasion did not defend their country?
@@esahm373 The NVA were trying to invade South Vietnam. The US wasn't in the region to invade either. The US military was there to help the ARVN and didn't even invade North Vietnam. The whole point to being there was to stop South Vietnam from getting overrun, not to invade North Vietnam.
@@andyfriederichsen I guess that's why the US forces made frequent incursions into North Vietnamese territory? South Vietnam didn't even have a legit government, there was heavy infighting, nepotism, cleptocracy and corruption within the South Vietnamese political elite. There was one coup d'etat after the other and none of those who came to power enjoyed any credibility in the general, overwhelmingly rural population.
You also seem to lack actual historical knowledge: after the French colonial forces were ousted by the Vietnamese under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh all sides agreed in Geneva that a referendum should be held two years later over the reunification of Vietnam. Corrupt South Vietnamese supervised by Washington strategists violated those accounts and brutally hunted down political dissidents, since from the Washington POV it was preferable to have corrupt South Vietnamese in power, than a government that enjoyed great popularity, but was alignef with the socialist North Vietnamese liberation movement which managed to liberate Vietnam from the French occupation.
