U.S. Army Sniper - Vietnam. #14726506 03/30/20

OP Leanwolf Campfire Outfitter Joined: May 2003 Posts: 13,356 Idaho	This is an interesting video of an interview of a man who was a sniper with the 9th Inf. Div. and later with the 25 Inf. Div., in Vietnam. He speaks of how he became a sniper, the training, the rifles, the ammo they used, and how they adjusted their 'scopes for different ranges. He also tells of a couple of their missions and the techniques they used when his sniper team would "set up." For the Atlanta Veterans History Project, and about 56 minutes long. Sorry, nothing about the Chinese virus, Trump, Pelosi, or Hillary in this one. "Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." (William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830s.)
