Sapper = a military engineer who lays or detects and disarms mines 2: a military engineer who does sapping (digging trenches or undermining fortifications)

A sapper is a combatant on a one way mission armed with explosives. Suicide bombers used in support of military operations.

Sapper is a military engineer trained to use explosives.

In vietnam became the term for the little brown brothers, who were able to slither thu the wire.
