30Three,
You nailed it.
Its not now, when the high fives are slapped with euphoria from all angles Military from your mates and the PR department, it is when the family or country of that person, seek the individual who pulled the trigger, who will then have to justify his actions, is when he will wish he was anonymous.....as he will find out he is all alone with no support, especially from the very same PR department who pushed his name to the fore.
" A snipers work has to be a silent art of warfare, not one to be idolised when political aims are failing!!"

who will then have to justify his actions

Justify what actions Gil and to who! the do gooders that cry foul when the coalition forces take out an insurgent, the poor bl**dy snipers have copped it in the neck for years sometimes unjustly more so from an unknowing public.
They are highly intelligent and skilled persons whom should remain anonymous, keeping the pressure on that old mate who sneeks around at extreme range might not be as safe as they think they are, a good fear factor when his buddy just up and explodes when a 50 cal round tears him in half at a few thousand yards from any coalition post.
Give them all the support we can, as a sniper is a force multiplier not a dark person who does it willy nilly.

I am generalising................. from past experiences where many years later men are held to account, because their names have been published in this way.

A performance chart using a 750gn A Max if they were using that projectile but I feel they may have something even slipperier through the air the 50 round still has 2,843/Ftlbs of energy at 2000 yards as a guide one may fathom it would possibly still connect at the stated range with 1000/ftlb +- at the extremis 3000 yd shot.
