So when a sniper gets a kill it’s not even considered confirmed until a third person sees it? Besides the sniper himself and the spotter? You’d think the spotter would be enough
This was before Maj. Ed Land established the Scout/sniper school and scouts weren't as common. Hathcock specifically went out solo quite often. But when you take one of Hathcock's craziest kills to take out an NVA general he had to crawl at a snail's pace for hundreds of yards but only moving a few inches at a time without the compound guards seeing the brush moving which took him 2 days just to get into position and after the kill he had to egress the same way. Clearly you cant send anyone into an area like that to visually confirm. But since he was a ranking general it was easy for them to confirm thru intel sources.
Carlos Hathcock(93+ kills), Chuck Mawhinney(103 kills) and Adelbert Waldron(109 kills)...true legends of the Vietnam War. Also Eric England with 98 kills but there's even less known about him than Adelbert, and he specifically chose not to discuss his time as a sniper with the media for the most part.
No war in vietnam. Americans make fake war in vietnam untill now in other countries.. americans acting like imbecile kids taking candies on thierouths.. shame on u .
Wow. Some editor is obsessed with roll. "I want my film to feel like you're on a ship in a storm. ROLL ALL THE STILLS".
Certainly not helping my vertigo

And it couldn’t just be a third person. It had to be from an officer of the unit. Some officers get jealous or lazy and won’t check.
Thank you for your service Sir.

I read the book about him, "silent warrior" when I was 14 and it was incredible.
The picture of the round “fired” at the nva sniper is hilarious.
