[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1021927, member: 6145"] I was reading about these guys on wikepidia (sp)?? To me, when they left active duty and went on with their lives, there was not a lot said about their service. I am not sure if their guns were even saved. I think what happend after their service probably defined how well the world knew them. Some of the top guys from WWII and Nam did not want to talk about it and didn't. Most went onto occupations that had nothing do to with their sniper service. Carlos, (and I am going from memory here, could be off a little, but the point is valid) still was in the marines and trained snipers and developed sniper programs for the marines (or armed services). He did not give interviews but he was visible. After in military service he trained local police and I think swat. So he was visible and active - this equates to being known. Anyway, there were A LOT of unconfirmed for all of these guys. So the actual confirmed is not that big of a deal to me. They all did their jobs in extreme pressure and risked their lives many times to save the lives of other service men. So he got the attention. this is my opinion. [/QUOTE]
