  • The United States Marine Corps Scout/Snipers in Vietnam Honors
    - Long Range Marines: The united states Marine Corps Scout/Snipers in Vietnam Honors 499 By: - Todd Smith Advisor: Dr. Tom Phelps Ball State University December 5, 1995 - - {' '- !:,,- , " ~. - 1 Introduction My Senior Honors Thesis is the cUlmination of my years at Ball State university. It shows both the knowledge I have gained and the lessons learned throughout this journey of education. This Thesis owes a great deal of thanks to several people. First and fore-most is Dr. Thomas Phelps of the History Department. As my advisor, he helped to create a work which I am pleased to have produced. Other persons who were helpful in this endeavor are Dr. Tony Edmonds and Dr. Phylis zimmerman, both of the History Department. Once again, special thanks to those people, as well as all those at Ball state who made my experience there so extremely pleasant. - - 2 There were a small group of highly trained soldiers who struck fear deep into the hearts of the North vietnamese forces in the vietnam War. These men stalked to their position, from which a single, well placed shot would ring out, and another enemy fell. These men were the Scout/Snipers of the United states Marine Corps. To understand the importance of these men, as well as the evolution of the military sniper, there are several things to be considered. In sniping, as in all history, it is necessary to examine the foundations which led to the American deployment of snipers in Vietnam. Sniping in general has always had a love/hate relationship in the military, a feeling which the Marines helped change.
