What is the difference between what Charlie Jr. did and what a sniper does ?


The difference lies in the men themselves. What a sniper does is his job, his duty, an integral part of his "MOS." What Charlie did was his hobby. I see no kind of similarity or comparison.

One of my best friends was a "Carlos Hathcock" in the Pacific during World War Two. In his late 70s, he's still tormented by his many kills when he was a teen-aged Marine on Okinawa and other South Pacific islands. He was captured twice but killed his way (a) out of a prison camp and (b) out of custody on the way to another prison camp. Charlie would envy him.
