Today's sniper's are used for, AS AN EXAMPLE: Terminating 3 Somalis Hi-Jackers on the high seas earlier this year (2009) by 3 bullets from 3 SEALS. US Snipers can do a LOT MORE if the conventional force commanders will just allow them to utilize their skills. Example: US Snipers make excellent "hunters" (hunting for) against terrorists.
