Snipers can terrorize and shut down forces much larger and better armed than them. The only real way of dealing with a sniper is to kill the sniper, but in the city, it is almost impossible to catch or kill the sniper. We think there's a sniper or sniper team that's been rolling around in a van, following U.S. patrols and taking potshots at us. The guys want to torture the sniper when we find him, but I wonder if we ever will. It took the FBI a lot of coordination, a lot of time, and a lot of victims to catch the Beltway Sniper back in 2001.
We've just started with operations, and this sniper has completely changed the way we operate. Everything is speed, violence of action, and limiting exposure time. This is not how I want to roll for the next 14 months. This is not how we get the locals to like and trust us.
I don't know. I just don't know. We need to kill the snipers.
