Angel of death

Primarily marine/army/seabee slang for an enemy sniper.

They stalk the battlefield from afar, you never see him.

You never hear him.

And like the biblical angel of death he leaves only death in its wake.

"Wheres cpl. Ross? The convoy came in an hour ago"
"he didnt make it,an angel of death got him."
