Definitely not a glamorous, but dangerous, duty. In a combat situation, after the sniper fires, he becomes the opposing forces #1 target, at times, in enemy territory and outnumbered. Lots of training, patience, and knowledge required for these heroes.
This article is one of the worst depictions I’ve ever seen. The author did a terrible job at showing the reader that there is a significant difference between LAW ENFORCEMENT snipers and USMC combat snipers.

Read magazine article on subject, very compelling, but author forget these sniper movies:
American Sniper, movie serial Sniper, vs Shooter movie.
Are these movies accurate?
