Each day the pair risk their lives away from fellow Paras, taking up covert positions and often lying hidden for as long as ten hours at a time.

I know it'd probably compromise their ability to sneak in close undetected, but man... I view these guys as being so valuable, I wonder if our respective military planners couldn't figure out some way to provide them with an infantry squad, or a few mortarmen, or something, to cover them while they withdraw from a position? I hate losing anyone, but I really hate it when we lose snipers (and their highly accurized rifles).

(Corporal Matt Hughes killed an Iraqi gunman from 900 yards with a “wonder shot” in which he aimed 56ft to the left and 35ft high to allow for wind.)

The Tiger Woods of snipers!

"The sniper — who The Sun is not naming to prevent him becoming a target himself — is a member of elite 3 Para. "

LAT and NYT working hard to publish his identity.

However, if he was an American and this was an American news report I'm sure he would have been named.
