[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2843256, member: 116439"] They (politicians and USMC Leadership) did the same thing after WWII. They dismantled the "Sniper". When we went Viet Nam the US & USMC found that they needed the SNIPER back and had to start the whole new Sniper Program. The US had to bring in experts from the UK to train US Marines and Solders. The "Scout Sniper" was then born out of necessity during the Viet Nam War and turned out to be one of the most effective tools in warfare. It took many years to build up the "Scout Sniper" Program. Politicians, Consultants, and high Ranking Military officials have not learned lessons from previous Wars/Conflicts. They want to replace humans with Drones. Removing the Main Battle Tanks, taking Fighter Piolets out of Jets, and now removing the Scout Sniper. Don't get me wrong it is very important to have technology and saving Human Lives. China is beating the US and other countries probably 2 to 1 in advancements. Wars are fought with machines but won on the ground by soldiers/Marines. It is really sad the people that are in charge of our Country are making bad decisions. Semper Fi! [/QUOTE]
