He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

"Designated marksman" might be more appropriate than "sniper".
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
Edward Bernays, 1928
Much changes, much remains the same.

The term Sniper or Designated marksman does not appear in the TO&E for Marine units.
HyperWar: Marine Regiment TO&E (1944)
I found some ww2 references to Scout sniper platoons.
nothing on designated marksman for the WW2 time frame.
Although the fellow at our club (WW2 & Korea) refered to himself as a Sniper.
His skill backed up his claim.
