Carlos Hathcock

Carlos Hathcock, born on May twentieth, nineteen forty-two, was a distinguished United States Marine Corps sniper whose remarkable service record includes ninety-three confirmed kills. His exceptional skills and the daring missions he undertook have solidified his status as a legendary figure within the U.S. Marine Corps.

Hathcock's prowess in the field earned him the nickname 'White Feather,' a title bestowed upon him by the North Vietnamese People's Army of Vietnam. This moniker not only reflects his reputation but also highlights the psychological impact he had on his adversaries during the Vietnam War.

In recognition of his extraordinary contributions, a variant of the M21 rifle was named in his honor: the Springfield Armory M25 White Feather. This tribute serves as a testament to his legacy and the indelible mark he left on military history.
