Gunnery Sergeant Hathcock commands respect!  Had he not been a sniper he still would be considered a great rifleman and Marine! 

He may well have had the most difficult sniper missions of any sniper in Vietnam.  He seems to have been able to operate more independently than most.  I'm not sure why that is, but I'm guessing it's because his official duty position was as an instructor with the 1st Marine Division Scout Sniper School, and not with one of the regimental scout sniper platoons. 

Aim small; miss small.
