It’s the end of an era dating back to World War I. The United States Marine Corps isn’t training scout snipers anymore. On Dec. 15, the last eight graduated from the Marines’ scout sniper training school in North Carolina.
The decision to phase out scout snipers is part of the Corps’ Force Design 2030, a branch-wide plan to modernize and prepare for a conflict with what the Corps calls a “near-peer adversary.” That’s military speak for a fight with China.

As a former Marine, why is this information been given to foreign adversaries? Sure they probably know this information, but why verify?

China's navy is currently larger in terms of sheer numbers, but not in terms of capability. The vast majority of their Navy ships are not blue water vessels. They are working hard to change that, and pouring huge resources into creating a navy on par with U.S. capability, but they aren't comparable in terms of capability at this point.
