Its intresting subject how different countries/ coultures have different wiew on snipers / marksmen. I have to point out,that for example Simo Häyhä wasnt trained to be a sniper and there wasnt sniper schools in Finland. I think becouse the majority of Finns owned hunting weapons and markmanship was always appreciated there was no disrespect against snipers in here during WWII. These men were just the best shooters among their units. I think that sniping was associated on hunting in Finnish mindset.
