There was a scene in Full Metal Jacket where an enemy sniper had wounded a squad member out in the middle of a courtyard. As the soldier lay there screaming in pain, others in the squad couldn’t stand it and tried to rescue their buddy. Each time one of them tried to get to the wounded member, the sniper would take them out. Imagine that squad member being a female soldier out there screaming in agony. The one thing about this scene, was that the sniper was female, but she was defending what she felt was her homeland.

I'm sure a woman can pick up a rifle and with proper instruction can fire it as good or better than any man. Just as in that movie. However, firing the rifle is a small part of a military sipers job. Most women cannot do all of the rest of the things required of snipers. That's the problem.
