If you mean Carlos Hathcock, nothing could be further from the record.
"Probably his most daring and important active-duty mission was when Hathcock shot and killed a North Vietnamese Army general from a range of about 700 yards. Hathcock literally spent days crawling, inches at a time, to get within range of the generals command post."

I remember reading the account of that shot/kill. It is absolutely amazing, even today. I have a VHS tape of an interview between Hathcock and his instructor. How I wish I could get it transferred to DVD.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
