Marine snipers are QP's too?
Of course not, but I thought this wording was interesting:
Quote:

One Quiet Professional, in the right place at the right time, can end wars before they start. One Shot, One kill. Marine Scout Sniper.

This is from the "Ultimate Soldiers" episode of Fight Science on Nat Geo. The quote happens at 3:45 into the episode.
I know Special Forces often gets used incorrectly in place of SOF, but this is the first time I've ever heard Quiet Professional used to describe anyone but SF. Does it happen often?

not my first post...
I had almost 20 posts when I came here regularly over a year ago... I can follow instructions and am not sure why my posts are gone.
EDIT: Did some searching and some of my old posts still show up in the forum but are not associated with my post count, but my intro thread and several others are missing. Has the software/database been upgraded?

I've met a lot of USMC "Professionals" - not very "Quiet", though.
What do they do, remove their sniper's vocal chords...like 'debarking a dog' or something.

Fight Science on Nat Geo is a joke, we've caught them in all kinds of bullshit, fake "Special Operations instructors" was the best one.
Not a show worth watching.
