The United States Marine Corps disbanded its elite and historic scout sniper program as part of its extensive revamp to adapt infantry battalions to future warfare.
Scout Snipers provide cover and observation during a boarding and seizure operation to retake the ship Magellan Star from suspected pirates on Sept. 9, 2010 in the Gulf of Aden.Marine Corps officials believe that the “newly designed Infantry companies were insufficient to offer the Battalion continuous all-weather information gathering,” and that the new Scout Platoons will be better utilized by leadership throughout the branch, according to the memo.
Scout Snipers are highly trained, precise marksmen, who provide support for ground combat operations and gather important intelligence for commands across the Marine Corps. The transition away from sniping was called out by the USMC Scout Sniper Association, which blamed “senior leadership” within the Corps for not giving the Scout Sniper Platoons the resources to meet the Marine Corps needs.
Nope 👎 bad plan
What could go wrong?
People have the military they deserve.
Aiding and abetting the enemy that is the agenda.
ShivonePhyllis They will be replacing these snipers with highly trained social workers, mostly transgender and lmnop's
Replacing with red high heel wearing SJW’s Don’t forget to use the correct pronouns when facing the enemy on the battlefield guys....
Why are they doing this. ?
BidensAmerica DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
we are doomed !
Robots can do that much more accurately
Changing it for something else
Omg our military is a joke.
In a world where the Army says you shouldn’t yell at recruits anymore nothing surprises me anymore. Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times. Guess where we are currently.
Soft
😡😡
TF?
Wow. I am stunned.
That is stupid

Keep lowering those standards!
Everybody asking why.. just watch. The corps knows what’s up, has always been ahead of the curve, are our nation’s premier warfighters, and probably know more about the futility of snipers in the drone wars than the average peanut in the gallery.
Why?
This won't end well.
Replacing them with drag-queen observers.
Why?
Of course, we no longer want to win wars.
Learn mandarin asap
What if President realDonaldTrump hires the elite scout sniper platoons for Mar a Lago or maybe GregAbbott_TX could hire the elite scout sniper platoons for the Texas national guard or maybe AllenWest could hire the elite scout sniper platoons for the Texas militia
Making USA weaker
Serious question Any vets out there can explain what kind of impact this will have on fighting capabilities of the Marines?
Absolutely pathetic
Anything else to make China Better!!
That is nuts. Maybe the military needs to invest in fighting instead of gender studies. USMC
Makes it easier for Ukraine 🇺🇦 to invade!
Replacing them with more pronouns?
Because White Supremacy 🤡🤡🤡
What!!! That is stupid. Modern sniper rifles combined with ballistic & weather solution advancements has extended the effective range of a Sniper. Maybe it’s because not many “Sniper/spotter material” recruits in the new crop
Needed to make room for more diversity programs. Understandable.
No need for them Anyway. The USMC has created a new Elite force called the Woke Snipers. They will snipe the pronouns of our enemies. 🤣
Why is there none talking about Japan is dumping nuclear water into the ocean starting this month...
No more Scout Sniper course for Marines unless they're in a Recon unit?
Eliminating scout snipers will leave money to figure out what hypersonic means and then how to stop one lit up in China and two hours later landing in New York
Wtf
WTF?
erotao Holy shit. Worst leadership in history.
Shame on them! DeptofDefense making it easy for take over! Weakening our military! God sees you!
Marine Corps eliminating guns
Destruction from within
Baaaad idea
Assuming because of the use of drones but I’d still would want snipers out there or a sniper watching over me. Can’t see y we can’t have both. Think it’s crazy not having snipers overlooking troops
Horrible our world as is done
SenatorBennet SenatorHick Is this change ordered by Pres Xi thru his poodle joebiden or was it relayed thru Hunter?
replaced by drones?
Why?
Because they no longer feel the need to reach out and touch someone. A very ignorant move but I expect no less under the present regime.
Jfc people read the damn article. What on earth do snipers have to do with drag queens?
Why?
They’re being punished for misgendering.
wow 😯
c'mon...they got rid of tanks... u all had to figure these guys were on the block too
Why
Whyyyyyyyyyyy
We're horrible at winning wars. Let's get into the peace game!
Replaced with Drag Queen Sniper Hour
Too many white snipers
They just drone strike everything now.
Reading from the comments, people didn’t read the article but they are too quick to blame it on “wokeness”
To be replaced by drag queen story hour platoons.
Why
Marines! Please don’t allow this to happen
Yeah, because we wouldn’t want any part of our military to be ELITE - WOKE, instead, is the order of the day!
Let me guess ,hurt someone’s feelings so we’ll eliminate them?
Very sad
I understand expansion to include more variety of scouts, but deletion of the position of sniper is foolish.
Surely placing all hope on 1 shot ( everyone will scramble whether you hit or miss ) is more efficient then sending an aircraft or drone
Lloyd Austin is another Brandon DEI complete FAILURE🤮
Why?
