Contradiction between paragraphs
These two paragraphs seem contradictory:

"The term "Scout Sniper" is only used by the Marine Corps but it does not imply a differing mission from an U.S. Army Sniper. The primary mission of an Army Sniper is to support combat operations by delivering precise long-range fire on selected targets. By this, the sniper creates casualties among enemy troops, slows enemy movement, frightens enemy soldiers, lowers morale, and adds confusion to their operations. The secondary mission of the sniper is collecting and reporting battlefield information, Section 1.1 FM 23-10 Sniper Training.

The Marine Corps is unique in its consolidation of reconnaissance and sniper duties for a single Marine. Most other conventional armed forces, including the United States Army, separate the reconnaissance soldier or scout from the sniper. In the U.S. Army the term "Infantry Scout" refers to a specially selected and trained Infantry soldier that functions in a reconnaissance and surveillance capacity while "Sniper" refers to a specially selected and trained soldier that primarily functions as a sniper.[3] Most military forces believe that the separation of reconnaissance and sniper capabilities allows for a higher degree of specialization." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.91.141.100 (talk) 03:30, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

NPOV about Nazi flag
The section about the usage of the Nazi flag is massively NPOV, clearly written by someone trying to defend the usage of the flag without question. Wikipedia should report what happened, not whether it was right or not. Calling the Commandment of the Marine core a coward is certainly not neutral! I may have a stab at rewriting this later.

 * I tried to clean it up at best as I could, mostly by manually undoing this edit, which hopefully solves any issues with the wording. - SudoGhost 12:39, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks much better to me. I'm removing the NPOV tag - thank you! Airjevans (talk) 19:40, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
