What are the working hours of a US army sniper?
Which war? US Army snipers didn't officially exist until the 1980s (there was NO OFFICIAL USA Sniper school in the US; Vietnam USA snipers were trained in Vietnam at Division level or Brigade level if there was no division in country). Another words, when there was a war going on, US Army snipers were recruited (within ranks), put to work, then disbanded when the war ended. In VN, US Army snipers worked on the principle of "body count"; meaning when ever the "hunting" was good (an AO where VC or NVA were known to exist) then snipers were deployed (same with the USMC probably). If there was a big op, and communist activity was heavy (read lots of fighting with NVA regulars) then USA snipers were usually deployed to eliminate sappers (planting anti-tank mines), and RPG teams (rocket tms). Night time was the best time to eliminate sappers; anytime for the rocket tms.

What was the number of American snipers in the Vietnam War?
Snipers do more than provide one shot one body results. They often go in with or before the advance party on a forward movement and act as scouts gathering information. On a withdrawal they act as rear guards covering the troops as they pull back. Its amazing how much the loss of a senior enemy officer to a sniper can slow the advance of a unit. American snipers in Vietnam at the end of the war killed over 10,000 VC/NVA soilders at the cost of under 20,000 bullets.
How often does the military use snipers?
For the US: From the Revolutionary War up until Korea, US military snipers were to demoralize/create panic/etc. by eliminating key personnel such as; officers, machinegunners, radio men, crew served weapons crewmen, other sharpshooters, etc. During the Vietnam War, US snipers were used entirely for a new purpose: Strictly body count. Body count consisted of Sappers (personnel planting land mines/or Sappers in the wire-commandos penetrating a firebase's perimeter-however those types of Sappers were often dealt with by claymores and automatic weapons fire from the firebase's defences); or enemy patrols. Today's military snipers are professionally trained (the FIRST US military sniper schools opened DURING the Vietnam War in the US in 1969 (USMC); the FIRST US Army sniper school opened in 1987 (the temporary 1955-1956 Marksmen School at Camp Perry Ohio, may count for POLITICAL statistical purposes, but that should be all). Today's sniper's are used for, AS AN EXAMPLE: Terminating 3 Somalis Hi-Jackers on the high seas earlier this year (2009) by 3 bullets from 3 SEALS. US Snipers can do a LOT MORE if the conventional force commanders will just allow them to utilize their skills. Example: US Snipers make excellent "hunters" (hunting for) against terrorists.

Why were snipers more important than others in the Vietnam war?
US Snipers became a US civilian fad after the Viet War in about the 1980s. Nearly all US wars have had quote "snipers", it's just that they were "secret stuff" and not advertised. The US Army had it's first Sniper school in the 80s (the one in the 50's don't count, it didn't last long at all). The USMC started theirs in '69. The more people knew about US military snipers, the less effective they became. The more classified they were, the more effective they were. So, it's just a Television, Movie (Film), book, etc. fad (wannabe). The "Real" snipers you won't know about.
