If "The Sniper" was told from a third-person omniscient point of view, the reader would have insight into the thoughts and emotions of all characters, providing a more well-rounded understanding of their motivations and perspectives. This omniscient perspective could add depth to the story by revealing the inner turmoil and conflicting feelings of the characters as they navigate the challenges of warfare.

The author likely chose to tell "The Sniper" as a story to provide more detailed descriptions, inner thoughts of the characters, and a deeper exploration of the setting and atmosphere. This format allows for a more nuanced understanding of the characters' motivations and emotions, which might have been more difficult to convey solely through dialogues and actions in a play format.
Time is important in a story because it helps readers realize the characters motives and it explains certain details in the story that wouldn't make sense if it were in another time period. I hope that answers your question!
