Yes, they still should monitor strictly. Yes, it may seem that you have the enemy in sight, and you want to take it, but it is not your call. A similar scenario would be from the movie "Jarhead". So, if there were no discipline, everyone would be anything, hell would run loose.
90% of a sniper's job is observing. That's why they're called "sniper-observers." If he gets tunnel vision on one, what about the three guys setting up an RPG a few buildings down. The most he could've done is warn the guys below on the radio and let them get down. And one shot can and many times will kill a person, provided it's well-aimed.
Yeah I understand he was doing his job, yet, I would have shot and saved my fellow soldiers from the most dangerous threat.
