Snipers are such cowards, especially in occupation/colonislist armies and armed forces. The fighter jet pilots of the infantry world. Oh let me just invade someone's country, kill a guy in cold blood from a kilometre away with my high tech rifle, and retreat before the enemy calls a mortar strike on my position.

Snipers defending their homeland, country or territory are the only good ones. And those that sniped the Nazis.

Shout-out to Juba as well, they'll never get a suitable emote because they were never identified (it may have even been multiple people).

to some extent bravery and effective warfare are at odds with one another. rarely is it strategic to die gloriously. it's a good lesson for insurrectionists frankly.

Who cares about cowardice during war? It’s about results. If you’re effective while minimizing chances of death I’d say it’s a good tactic
