Show Notes
As one of the most prolific snipers of the Vietnam War, Chuck Mawhinney was a lethal sharpshooter who racked up the most confirmed kills in the history of the United States Marine Corps and the second-most confirmed kills of any American soldier in the country’s history. In one incident alone, Mawhinney had 16 confirmed kills in a mere 30 seconds — all of them headshots.
But when the war ended, Chuck Mawhinney simply retired from the Marine Corps and spent his days working in the U.S. Forest Service, telling no one — not even his wife — about his career in Vietnam. This is the amazing true story of Chuck Mawhinney, the legendary sniper who was as deadly as he was humble.
