Personally, I'm starting to wonder why our military needs the ability to shoot accurately at all. It's obvious that when the shit comes down to implement the "great reset", the US military will be fully neutered.

Good, when we start shooting back they won't be able to hit us.

a bunch of Ukrainians that wouldn't pass our basic training have been giving the great soviet bear a pretty bloody nose for the last year.
motivation to win will overcome a lack of fancy training. it's war, cheat. |

Who needs snipers when you have thousands of kamikaze drones that can loiter above, find, and then hurl themselves at the enemy?

WTF? The program has been scrapped as "outdated" thrice already but was resurrected 3 times as well... what genius thinks the skillset is obsolete... again? Perhaps these are the same leaders who decided the 5.56 cartridge was adequate in any scenario, until they started to re-issue the M-14 because all of a sudden the .22s legs weren't long enough "in theater".

They just approved a new caliber for the riflemen. It's a 8.6 x 51 ( .277 bullet in the .308 case basically)
With new optics and suppressors, it allows the "regular" riflemen to be more accurate. So, if you read between the lines, you take the new rifle and the top shooters and assign them as scout platoons , you end up with more snipers. Also, the newest drone technology allows you to scout in relative safety back from the line. Warfare is changing |

Many of our fathers fought with a bayonet fixed to the .30 Garand. Do they even use bayonets anymore? |

As for the article, until they start assigning Marine snipers based on some kind of intelligence scale it's probably advisable to include the word "potential" when detailing their capabilities. |

Since this administration's biggest fear is foreign balloons, nearly anybody with a rifle can hit one the size of three school buses.
