Last week, Moore wrote that he grew up being told that snipers are cowardly. "My uncle killed by sniper in WW2,"

Our guys sniped a lot of Nazis during WWII.

And a lot of snipers operated during the Civil War too, though they called "sharp shooters" back then.

I read a story of a US sniper who, armed with an M-1C or D, took on and shot over 40 North Koreans or Chinese in ONE engagement.

During the REVOLUTIONARY WAR, one British officer wrote home and told his fellow officers, who might be sent to the American Colonies, to get their affairs in order as the AMERICAN RIFLEMEN targeted OFFICERS, and not Enlisted men!

HORRORS OF HORRORS!
