The Marine Corps Sniping series had been
planned as a trilogy, but the first three volumes were so enthusiastically received and so
much information came in that it has been found necessary to continue. The fifth volume
will be available Feb 1998. We seem to have tapped into a mighty river of knowledge,
experience, and interest. It is as if hundreds of snipers have been waiting for their
stories to be told, and other hundreds of other readers are intensely interested in what
has gone before, is happening now, and what is expected to happen in USMC Sniping. Volume
IV continues to report, editorialize, and speculate on Marine Corps Scout Sniping. We
write for snipers and those interested in the art. Much of what we write is not considered
politically correct. Sniping, it sometimes seems, is supposed to be efficiently carried
out, but no one is supposed to publicly mention or notice the dangerous and demanding
duty. The Scout Sniper really is an enemy's worse nightmare. The Scout Sniper is the
Marine Corps' most potent and cost effective weapon, but until the Corps is willing to
stand up and recognize the effectiveness and the Scout Sniper's essentiality, the Sniper's
role will continue to be misunderstood, mismanaged, and downgraded. |
