[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 344914, member: 8"] I don't mind you saying that. Those of us who are RVN vets are very used to things like that being said to us. Your treatment of RS2G was deplorable and pretty much proved my point that some people came up on the thread with only the intent to denigrate the skills of snipers and it seems anyone who actually has combat experience. RS2G in his last sentence hits one of the major differences between a combat sniper (and really a combat anything) and benchrest shooting/longrange hunting. That is the need to remain calm and 100 percent mentally functional in the midst of chaotic conditions and personal danger. Different people start off with different levels of ability to stay calm and focused and for most of them, they can be trained to be even more calm and focused. It is one of the skills that has to be sharpened in most people. Within 3 weeks of taking over my first combat command I had to relieve my platoon sergeant from duty because he simply was not calm and functional during a crises and I simply was unwilling to risk the lives of my men while I tried to train him.
