Well Snopes aside,what the soldier feels is his/her business.He/she is doing what he/she is required to do as a sniper and the military has directed them to.I commend them for that.They perform a service most people don't want to do.Very special type of person.My nieghbor is and ex marine he built a HD chopper and semper fi is all over it and he has semper fi plates on his 3 other vehicles.There are a few hearts on his chopper but I did not ask why because I felt they may have a special meaning to him he may not be comfortable sharing.Once a Marine always a Marine.Very tightly knit group.
