Where is Carlos “The White Feather” Hathcock when you need him?

Sadly, Carlos has been dead for some time.
Maybe it’s time to call Chuck Mawhinney (sp?) out of retirement.
(He’s the sniper that apparently had a higher body count than Hathcock
during Vietnam).

The History Channel special on snipers...when it’s on, I set everything
aside and watch it.
It had GREAT segments on Mawhinney, Hathcock and modern snipers in
Iraq and Afghanistan.

"I just re-read Marine Sniper a couple weeks ago....."

Great book. Just lent mine out to a nephew about a month ago to "educate" him. It's our duty because kids today won't be learning about "The Feather" in our public school system though they should. A true American Patriot.
