“I was raised by the Ten Commandments and one is ‘Though Shall Not Kill’. Well, ‘thou shall not kill my Marines’, either. This is war. If you’re gonna kill my Marines, I will kill you.” Those are the words of Marine Scout Sniper Chuck Mawhinney.
In 16 months as a Marine Corps sniper in Vietnam in 1968 and 1969, Mawhinney killed 103 of the enemy. Another 216 kills were listed only as probables. “It was the ultimate hunting trip: a man hunting another man who was hunting me,” he said. “Don’t talk to me about hunting lions or elephants; they don’t fight back with rifles and scopes. I just loved it. I ate it up." On the night of Feb 14, 1969. Chuck took out a 16-man NVA patrol which was crossing a river; 16 headshots, 16 brass casings, one M14 with a starlight scope.
