CHARLIE, YOU’RE NOT PERFECT (Best Snipers Series Book 10)
This story is based on true events confronting a Marine Scout Sniper in Vietnam in 1969. Sniper Mark Wilder (fictional name) and his spotter have found where the Viet Cong are moving into their area to torture and kill chiefs, their wives, and children so that the villagers will work for them. They must stop them, but they are two against the largest number of enemy they have ever seen. Here’s a sample:
“Wilder, we don’t have five minutes. The gooks will be close enough to nail us. They’ve already set up two machine guns and two mortars.†“Then we’ll have to slow them down some.†“Wilder, you’re just as crazy as they say,†Henderson grinned at him. “We can do it if you keep those fuckers hunkered down behind those dikes and don’t let ‘em flank us. Don’t let ‘em get any closer than seven hundred yards. I’ll take out the mortars and the guns. Don’t fire until they’re seven hundred yards away unless I say so.†Henderson nodded. “I hope you know what you’re doing, Wild man.†“No sweat,†grimaced Wilder. Inwardly he hoped to hell he was right because they were betting their lives on it. Everything depended on split second timing and two Phantoms that were still miles away.
How these two Marines stand alone against a tsunami of the enemy made Marine history. It is one of their best examples of personal bravery and split-second timing working together to rid the area of a major enemy menace. Better not sit on your flak jacket for this one because the firefight gets pretty lively.
