I guess I should rephrase as the concept of sniping didn't conform to tactics accepted by the brass. when you are on a small island in the the south pacific what you think is acceptable and what some general that decides what tactics you should be using are two very different things. bonzai charges were still very prevalent all the way until close to the invasion of Saipan. sniping, to some generals, was still considered underhanded and dishonorable.
