"Jackson was a sniper. The US did have an official role for snipers in WW2, though it was a different one than the current, more fieldcraft based version that you are thinking of. Note the scene where Caparzo gets shot. Jackson points out the church and says ""That's where I would be"", and sets up for a sniper kill on the target. Because he DOES have a knowledge of sniper tactics, Jackson is clearly a sniper rather than a ""dedicated marksman"", a role that did not exist in WW2. SWATJester Son of the Defender
