Summary: Should Have Been Titled Short Rifle
Comment: I could only make it half way through the book.
He was always me, my and I instead of we.
He comes across as he was ordering around Sgt's and others as a specialist.

He throws in to much politics. if I want to read about politics I will buy a book concerning politics. If I want to read a book about snipers that's what I expect it to be.

Don't buy it.

Summary: Brutally Honest and Real.
Comment: This cover caught my eye. I couldn't help but wonder what was gonna happen when that goofy looking guy pulled the trigger on the Barrett. Would he survive? I had to know, so I bought the book. Mr. LeBleu is my kind of author. I read this book cover to cover without stopping for food or drink. He has a very engaging sense of humor and writing style that had me on the edge of my seat. He pulls no punches and sugercoats nothing. He tells a shameless story and I felt like I actually knew the man by the time I finished the book. I wish him good health and good luck in all his future endeavors. If he ever publishes another book I would love to own it. I like the book enough that I'm going to try and make one of the stops on the book tour and get my copy autographed by a true American patriot. This is a must read for any red blooded American.

Summary: A very good read!
Comment: This one is hard to put down! Very realistic account of the stealth, determination and marksmanship that it takes to be a sniper. Impressive long range kills! Kept me on the edge wanting to know what was going to happen next. It takes courage to write an account of what one goes through in war and Mr. LeBleu doesn't hold back on details. Good book.

Summary: Excellent! Enlightening and Poignant
Comment: Congratulations Mr. LeBleu! This book gives a unique perspective into a "taboo" art of the military few can comprehend. As I'm sure, you expected, the "haters and experts" have chimed in. So-called paper "snipers" and most civilians(including REMFs) will find it hard to place themselves in your shoes as they read of the trials and tribulations. This being said, I applaud you for your service to our country, your willingness to share your experiences and insights and your dedication to your friends and their legacies. As a proud American and veteran, I salute you and all REAL veterans who have and are serving this great country. Thank you!

Summary: Not real
Comment: As a Marine Scout-Sniper has been around for some time I would say this book is at best greatly exaggerated. The author shows a surprising lack of knowledge of weapons and calibers and the events he claims to have participated in. I don't care that he is not a Bush fan btw. I don't like Bush either and don't know many combat vets who do. Anyway, there are just to many things in this book that are factually wrong or don't ring true.
