Summary: "Grunt" In The Arizona, Not Sniper!
Comment: Although Mr. Culbertson was a trained Marine sniper, the book only covers the day to day grinds and missions of the Marines in Arizona Territory. It is excellent reading, the accounts are factual and gripping, but I was interested more in his sniping missions and encounters. I enjoyed the presented material and would recommend it to others. If your looking for "sniper" related material to read, this book is not for you! I salute Mr. Culbertson, and all American Forces, for their efforts in Vietnam!

Summary: Great Story--Bad Language
Comment: As a Marine Corps, Vietnam Vet I was very interested in, "A Sniper In The Arizona." The author did a great job of telling the Vietnam story like it really was. I was surprised, however, to find no mentioned of one of the mostly highly praised Marine snipers in Vietnam, Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, a legend of Marine lore.
The author's use of four-letter words was totally unnecessary and grossly overdone. Nor did the four-letter words add anything to his story. Other authors have written about Marine Corps, Vietnam vets without using these garbage words and have received a five-star rating. Unless Culbertson cleans up his language, I will not read another one of his books.
Rating: 5
Summary: Outstanding Factual Account
Comment: Sergeant John Culbertson has written a very detailed and factual account of the fierce combat in the An Hoa area of Vietnam. Much more enlighting was the descriptions of Platoon and Company snipers in the Marine Corps. The vast majority of snipers worked in direct support of Marine Infantry units and had additional roles. Sniping came as targets of opportunity, not CIA type "hunts" as depicted in so many other books.
The adverage Marine sniper often found himself on point, patrolling or setting in ambush. I fought in the same unit, 5th Marines, in the exact same areas as Sgt. Culbertson and can attest to his true life accounts of heroic combat against a determined enemy. Semper Fi John Culbertson.
