During the evening game on the second day I (4th squad's sniper) had seperated from my unit, found a nice hole to hide in and waited for the VC to get past me. The VC ran past and didn't see me. I passed on several easy shots during that time...I wanted an officer, not a regular rifleman. Finally I see my quary, a VC sgt (mario, to be exact) with his unit. He's not quite within range, so I crawl about 50 feet through knee high razor grass and reaquire my target. He's still there, and now in range. I call it in and get permission to fire. As the VC squad begins to advance on the american positions I take careful aim at mario. I start to pull the trigger but before I can fire I see mario pull out his red rag and die. Some american rifleman had taken him out as his squad attacked. That was the only clean shot I had at an officer all weekend. Oh well, there's always crimson dunes...
