G/sgt. Carlos Hathcock II, 93 confimed kills. And the man who helped make Marine Sniping a regular part of the Corps. Long Trang in Engish is "White Feather." Great man, great marine. His Son is still in the Corps today. As for the bounty? they came very close to collecting. In one of the most famous sniper kills ever, he killed a counter sniper who was aiming right at him. Carlos won the shooters duel by a split second. He put a round thru the other guys scope!!! Now that is shooting.......
