Carlos Hathcock was a highly skilled American sniper who served in the Vietnam War. He was credited with 93 confirmed kills during his time in Vietnam and was known for his patience, accuracy, and bravery.
One of Hathcock’s most legendary feats occurred when he volunteered for a mission to take out an NVA General who was stationed in an enemy headquarters.
The mission required Hathcock to crawl for three days across a 2,000-meter open field while avoiding detection by enemy patrols.
Hathcock was able to move only inches at a time and had to be extremely careful not to be seen or heard.
He had to remain still for hours at a time while enemy troops searched for snipers in the area.
After crawling for three days, Hathcock finally reached his destination and was able to take out the NVA General with a single shot.
He then crawled back out of the field while enemy patrols were swarming the area looking for a sniper. Hathcock was able to avoid detection and safely return to his unit.
