[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2307012, member: 60453"] Actually, I was too. Just so you'll know. And there are probably twenty or thirty guys in this forum who knew Carlos. He was real, he had 93 confirmed kills and he made the 2500 yard shot. The Marine Corps museum also has the scope he shot through when he killed the VC sniper, and affidavits confirming his shot. SSG Waldron had the most confirmed kills in the Vietnam War. Major Plaster was Carlos' commanding officer part of his tours. However, there were a lot of men who knew Carlos, and they thought he was the real deal. I think you need to check your facts, and no, I'm not wrong about anything I wrote. As to confirmed kills, for a kill to be confirmed in Vietnam, an officer had to witness it and certify that it had happened. Confirmed kill meant it was seen by at least one commissioned officer and reported as a kill. Hathcock probably killed at least 300 men, Waldron around 400, but they didn't count unless an officer witnessed it. That's why they called it CONFIRMED. And yeah, I've helped to derail the thread. Sorry. I think the guy should get a 35 Whelen. [/QUOTE]
