[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 576397, member: 12"] Probably the best way to look at this. It is very difficult to get to and thru sniper schools and they do not go bragging normally. The internet is filled with wannabes and claimants of all types. Real snipers, Seals, SOF types watch for the wannabes and have compete websites to exposing them. They never go thru BUDS, the SFQC and other selection courses; maybe saw special units, or were assigned as support etc and later claim they are in reality snipers, Seals, Green Berets etc when they are not. That kind of grates on guys who started something with 116 guys and graduated 18 for example and lost 10 of those to various episodes within about 10 years. Graduation rates for most of these type courses is maybe 50% on a good day. Friend of mine is retired Seal said one time. "There was only 157 Seals actually assigned to Viet Nam during the entire war, and I have met all 3000 of them". :D [/QUOTE]
