When you are dangling yourself before the guns, is it more like "trolling" for snipers?

Well, we did have a drill for that.
Reminds me of Sgt Boitnott in Korea who had his spotter stand up to draw sniper fire, then shot the muzzle flash :)
I remember that story... Our drill was similar.
Inverse whack-a-mole.

Also reminds me of the Civil War general whose troops were cowering in their trenches under Reb fire... he stood up and yelled, "Don't worry, boys, they couldn't hit a barn at this distance!" Wham! a sniper shot him dead.
