Special Operations Direct Action Sniper Irving was the U.S. Army 3rdRanger Battalion’s deadliest sniper. He was the first African American to serve as a sniper in his battalion, and became known as “The Reaper” by the end of his active service. During a four-month period in mid-2009, Irving tallied 33 kills as a master sniper. [via]
