ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I am indebted to numerous people for this project. Ms. Noreen Khan (not of the BBC), as a native of Pakistan, was most helpful with details. As to technical expertise, I was taxed to the limit of my knowledge and I am grateful to many other veterans for input. Especially, I would like to thank Ms. Elsie Jackson, CPT Jason Kostal and the cadre and students of the U.S. Army Sniper School for hosting me and my barrage of questions, not to mention a photographer, for a day of research. I have taken liberties, I’m afraid, for the purposes of an entertaining story, and the responsibility for such inaccuracies is solely mine. After all, accuracy is their primary product.
