It has come to my attention that six of the seven Marines lost in the vicinity of Hit yesterday were Snipers on foot patrol. Apparently they were ambushed, and their position overrun, with the unit being wiped out to the last man. So far as i know this would mark the single largest loss of US Snipers in any one battle/firefight since at least WWII, and perhaps ever. These are the first snipers KIA since Shugghart and Gordon in Somalia. Details at this point are still pretty sketchy, but i'll post more as i find out, i have some feelers out to my SOCOM connection. RIP to my fallen brothers.
