WWII Pacific USMC Snipers

[champ0608]

The excerpt posted previously, along with the one below from the same source, appear to be the opposite of what you have been saying. Perhaps you are confused?

Attachment 128677

For what it's worth, this second excerpt is an interview with a soldier, not a Marine (99th Division, Camp Maxey, Weaver scope, etc) and has nothing to do with Marine snipers, or the Pacific.

That said, the 99th Division did utilize snipers (at least on a documented basis) to a higher degree than many other Divisions in the ETO.
