I read "Marine Sniper" last summer and it was one of the most incredible stories I have ever read.

another good one is 'dear mom- a sniper's viet-nam' by joseph t. ward. i recommend it.
A sign at the Marine Corps Scout Sniper School, Quantico, Virginia, reads:
"The average rounds expended per kill with the M-16 in Vietnam was 50,000.
Snipers averaged 1.3 rounds.
The cost difference was $2300 vs. 27 cents."
'white feather' is a legend. i read where they're trying to get him the medal of honor for getting all those guys out of the burning personel carrier. he's gone now but i sure hope they give it to him.

I read a borrowed paperback copy about 8 years ago. I've been looking for a copy of my own.
