Carlos Hathcock is just simply the greatest sniper ever to have lived in modern times. I cant even begin to understand the stress and tension of that sniper duel with that Viet cong. I mean i play BF3 and when im sniping and i know another sniper has got me locked in his scope its scary enough but for Carlos in real life thats must have been fucking horrible.
Legend he is, Top soldier he is but i bet everything i own he has woken up in a sweat at some point seeing that scope glint...

In Iraq the resistance has show real talent and made the invaders pay, "As ye sow shall ye reap" and as for the 1.5 miles shot the P.IRA were doing that stuff very successfully in their war.

Thats right, they pinned down the NVA company for three days under the scorching sun and they attacked several times and were close to overrun the americans but with arty support and accurate rifle shoots they forced the NVA back into their every time.
Its too bad that John Burke died at Khe Sanh defending a radio station on Hill 950.
I would have liked him to be in this documentary with Hathcock.
Those guys got balls to challenge a whole NVA company on their own.

@Winnetka4 7000 marines died on iwo jima, any one of the pacific island battles was blooder than falluja but falluja was the biggest city battle the corps had fought since hue city

@PoPeYeSwE1 yes i saw that program and they used a modern scope the one the cobra had was a russian pu 4x it only had two lenes and was only 5 inches long had they used a red dot scope it would have more closly mimiced the correct scope as the one they used was a foot lonf with 6 to 8 lenses in it
