Origin[]
Carlos Hathcock was a United States Marine Corp Sniper who had a confirmed 93 kills during the Vietnam War. However, this figure may have been much higher, between 300 and 400 according to Hathcock’s estimates. North Vietnamese forces had placed a $30,000 bounty on his head for killing so many of their soldiers. Known for carrying a white feather tucked in his hat, fellow Marines had each attached a feather to distract enemy snipers from one of their most valuable men. He only removed it once during combat, stealthily trudging through tall grass and avoiding detection to shoot a high-ranking officer before his first deployment. His most legendary shot however involved shooting a rival sniper sent just for Hathcock straight through their scope.
