So am I supposed to hate the FBI or not???
While I cannot speak to the specific details here on the use of âsnipersâ, I will say as someone who very regularly directed the use of snipers as part of military operations, there are multiple uses for the employment of people wearing that label. (Yes, I also acknowledge a HUGE difference in military and civilian âsnipersâ). As one who regularly emplyed snipers, 99% of the time I used them to observe and collect information about an area or specific place/person, not as a prelude to a shot. Most times for those missions I directed, a sniper shooting would translate in mission failure. Their main benefit is their ability to hide and report.
Again, I donât claim to be an expert on civilian sniper employment and have no inside âscoopâ on this particular case. I merely want to offer that their use sometimes involves something other than a reticle placed on a targetâs head waiting on the call to shoot. Yes the optics (pun intended) can be poor, but snipers do a lot more than just shoot.
